Introduction
Climate change is a critically significant contemporary environmental threat. The concept of climate change is often mislabeled and referred to as “global warming”—the relative trend of an accelerating warming globe. Historically, Earth’s mean temperatures have increased by 0.14 °F, per decade, since 1880; but since 1981, the rate has increased to 0.32 °F (Lindsey & Dahlman, 2023). Nevertheless, warmer temperatures are only a single facet within the scope of a larger issue, as various aspects of the natural environment are likewise changing. Likewise, the extent and degree of implications are highly localized. For instance, the Arctic region dubbed the “fingerprint of climate change,” is experiencing warming four times faster than other regions (Bamber, 2022).
