Climate change is defined as a long-term change in the Earth’s climate, or of a region on Earth and has been a topic of global interest over the last few decades. In fact, the World first heard of the term in 1979, and it took another decade before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed to collate and assess evidence on climate change. Over the last decade and half, terms such as ‘Climate Change’, ‘Green House Effect’, and ‘Global Warming’ have made their way into the common lexicon, yet misconceptions and misunderstandings of the various jargons remain. This article explores some common fallacies and other little known facts regarding the topic of climate change.
