Global warming vs climate change

[Md Kamrul Hasan]

Many people use these two terms interchangeably, but we think it's important to acknowledge their differences. Global warming is an increase in the Earth's average surface temperature from human-made greenhouse gas emissions.

On the other hand, climate change refers to the long-term changes in the Earth's climate, or a region on Earth, and includes more than just the average surface temperature. For example, variations in the amount of snow,  sea levels, and sea ice can all be consequences of climate change.
