About Climate Change
Climate change occurs when changes in Earth's climate system result in new weather patterns that last for at least a few decades, and maybe for millions of years. The climate system comprises five interacting parts, the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere.

COP26: Russia's Vladimir Putin will not attend climate summit
Russia's President Vladimir Putin will not attend the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.
No reason was given for the decision not to attend, but a Kremlin spokesperson said Climate Change was an " important" priority for Russia.
COP26 takes place in Scotland's largest city from 31 October to 12 November.
Russia's decision is seen as a blow to efforts to get leaders to negotiate a New Deal to stall rising global temperatures.
" Unfortunately, Putin will not fly to Glasgow, " Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, adding that Climate Change was " one of our foreign policy's most important priorities. "
Chinese President Xi Jinping is also unlikely to attend, though.
Earlier in October, Australian Prime Minister attracted widespread criticism for suggesting he might skip The Summit , but he later announced that he would indeed attend.
COP26 is the biggest Climate Change conference since landmark talks In Paris in 2015. Some 200 countries are being asked for their plans to cut emissions by 2030.
Many observers will be watching how Russia and other major fossil fuel producers will be willing to reduce their reliance on them.
