Welcome to 'An Introduction to Climate Change' created by Word Forest. Before you begin learning about our work and why trees are the key, here are some useful tips to help you navigate through the course when using a laptop or desktop!

Now, let's get learning!

So you want to learn about Climate Change?

The difference between weather and climate is: time. 
Weather is short-term. It’s what’s happening on a day-to-day basis – for instance, it might be raining today and sunny tomorrow. That’s weather.
Climate is the weather over longer time periods, e.g., seasons or decades. 
The temperature of the Earth has been changing over the centuries, and although this change seems small, at only a few degrees centigrade – this can leave a lasting impact.

There are actions that we can each take to slow down the speed of climate change, which you’ll find out about in this course.
