The causes of climate change can be divided into two categories-those that are due to natural causes and those that are created by man. Natural causes There are a number of natural factors responsible for climate change. Some of the more prominent ones are continental drift, volcanoes, ocean currents, the earth's tilt, and comets and meteorites. Let's look at them in a little detail.
Natural and human causes of climate change Processes or activities that cause climate change are generally refered to as climate forcing processes. The earth receives energy solely from the sun, in the form of light and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and releases energy back to space, in the form of infrared heat.
