Climate change and global warming are closely related, with global warming being a major contributor to climate change. Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature, primarily due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Climate change, on the other hand, refers to the broader changes in Earth's climate patterns, including changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather events, that result from global warming. In other words, global warming is one of the main drivers of climate change.
