Climate Change: Causes, Effects, and Solutions:

-
Climate change, primarily driven by human activities such as fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, poses significant challenges to the environment and society. Rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, and more frequent extreme weather events are among its observable effects. Mitigating climate change requires collective action, including transitioning to renewable energy sources, implementing sustainable land-use practices, and adopting climate-resilient infrastructure. Scientific research plays a crucial role in understanding climate dynamics, predicting future impacts, and informing evidence-based policies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to changing environmental conditions.

    chemical compound  is a chemical  composed of many identical molecules  (or molecules   entities ) composed of atoms for  more than one element  held together by chemical bonds . A molecule  A  molecule consisting of atoms of only one element   is therefore not a compound.  A  chemical formula  specifies the number of atoms of each element in a compound molecule, using the standard abbreviations for the chemical elements and numerical  subscripts .
