Climate science is the study of the Earth’s climate system and its variations, encompassing the interactions among the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice masses. This multidisciplinary field combines elements from meteorology, oceanography, geology, and environmental chemistry to understand past weather patterns, present climate conditions, and future climate change projections. Climate scientists use observational data and climate models to study how natural factors like volcanic eruptions and human activities such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels impact climate. Their research is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change, aiming to address issues like rising sea levels, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and shifts in biodiversity.
