CLIMATE CHANGE AND OZONE PROTECTION

Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weathe r over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average (for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region , or may occur across the whole Earth .
