Causes:
The cause of climate change is global warming. The earth is warming up, and that is causing climate change. (Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels [coal, oil and natural gas] and by deforestation [cutting down the forests that absorb carbon dioxide from the air].)
Results:
The results of climate change are predicted to be:
More extreme weather events (storms, floods, droughts etc).
More frequent weather events (more often).
Rising sea levels, especially if glaciers and the Greenland ice cap melts.
Destruction of some Pacific Island countries, as well as large areas of any low lying land.
Loss of species' habitats as plants and animals have to deal with rising temperatures.
Famine and deaths in some countries, especially in Africa.

EzraThe main cause of climate change is the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The results of climate change include rising global temperatures, sea level rise, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity.

What effect did climate change have on the evolution?
Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
What causes long term change in climate?
In the longest term changes in climate are caused by changes in the sun's output. Over shorter terms there are many different causes.
What does desertification do to climate?
Desertification causes the area to have a lack of rain since there is a lack of vegetation. This will change the climate to an arid state.
What are the confirmed facts about climate change?
The confirmed facts about climate change are that the average temperatures around the world are increasing and severe weather is becoming more common. The extent and causes of the change are disputed.
Can anticyclones be affected by climate change?
Anticyclones can be affected by climate change. When air temperature increases it causes clouds to evaporate and anticyclones create dry weather in the summer time.
