From weather to evidence
Learn by watching, doing, uploading and reflecting
Learn how people know climate change is real.
Farmers often notice changes first. They notice when rain comes late, when the dry season feels longer, when heat damages the soil, and when rivers or streams become weaker.
But one bad rainy season is not enough to prove climate change. Climate is about patterns over many years. That is why scientists use research, statistics and evidence.
-
Weather means today
-
Climate means normal patterns over many years
-
Research means checking carefully, not guessing
-
Statistics means counting many cases to find patterns
-
Evidence means signs that help us know what is likely to be true
-
One local problem is not enough
-
Many signs, from many places, over many years, become stronger evidence
-
Climate change affects food, water, roads, electricity, farms and forests
-
We must observe, measure, count, compare and act
