How fast is Climate Change growing?

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns across the Earth. These shifts can occur naturally, but since the 1800s, human activities—particularly the burning of fossil fuels—have been the primary driver. The burning of these fuels releases greenhouse gas emissions, trapping the sun's heat and causing global temperatures to rise. The impacts are extensive, including more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, storms, rising sea levels, changes in habitats, and effects on agriculture. In Saudi Arabia, temperatures are rising faster than the global average, with significant impacts on its environment, society, and economy, including higher temperatures, lower precipitation, and sea-level rise.
