Climate change causes
In the same BEIS survey, it was found that 38 percent of respondents believed climate change is mainly caused by human activity. 13 percent believed it is caused entirely by human activity, whilst one percent felt that there is no such thing as climate change.
Climate change is the term used for global weather phenomena which results in new weather patterns, increasing global temperatures. This term also includes the climate effects these increasing temperatures cause.
