 Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind,
and seasons.
Climate change affects more than just a change in the weather; it refers to
seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play
a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human
economies and cultures that depend on them. Because so many systems
are tied to climate, a change in climate can affect many related aspects of
where and how people, plants and animals live, such as food production,
availability and use of water, and health risks. For example, a change in
the usual timing of rains or temperatures can affect when plants bloom
and set fruit, when insects hatch or when streams are at their fullest. This
can affect historically synchronized pollination of crops, food for
migrating birds, spawning of fish, water supplies for drinking and
irrigation, forest health and more.

*It started when they got to the bears. Peter felt tired and his
stomach hurt. He dragged himself over to see the elephants,
which were eating from a stack of hay. Normally, the elephants
were his favorite. Without much interest, Peter followed his
classmates to the camels, which were busy swatting flies with
their tails. Peter knew he should be having fun at the zoo, but he
just felt terrible and all he wanted to do was lie down and rest.
Even the lions and tigers did not interest him now.
