Our climate is the production of a combination of elements. There are five different types of climate; tropical, dry, warm temperate, cold temperate and cold. Some places will have a climate with varied weather, like parts of Europe. Others will experience regular change at around the same time each year, which results in rainy and dry seasons.

By the end of this century it is estimated that Earth will be 1.4°C to 5.8°C warmer. Some scientists believe this change is a result of human activities, due to pollution and greenhouse gases.

El Niño is thought to be one example of how the global climate has changed. It occurs due to a current of warm water which moves through the Pacific every three to seven years and is so significant that it affects the climate around the globe. El Niño has been blamed for droughts in Africa and monsoons in India which have lead to poor crops and caused the loss of thousands of lives.
