The World Meteorological Organization defines this time period as 30 years. Examples of climate change include increases in global surface temperature (global warming), changes in rainfall patterns, and changes in the frequency of extreme weather events.
The current and future consequences of global change. The potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires, longer periods of drought in some regions and an increase in the number, duration and intensity of tropical storms.aken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment.
