'''Climate change''' is a change in the statistical distribution of [[weather]] patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e., decades to millions of years). Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of weather within the context of longer-term average conditions. Climate change is caused by factors such as [[wikt:biotic|biotic]] processes, variations in [[Sunlight|solar radiation]] received by Earth, [[plate tectonics]], and [[volcanic eruptions]]. Certain human activities have been identified as primary causes of ongoing climate change, often referred to as [[global warming]].<ref>
