As a result, we are currently living a warm interglacial era that began about 11,000 years ago. We do have some ice at the poles, but it is still fairly warm compared to glacial eras. These geological changes are common in the Earth’s history, but they are very different from the type of climate change we are observing nowadays. As opposed to a natural change, this is a man-made shift caused by the emission of greenhouse gases. Among the effects of this climate change, warmer areas will expand and move, and ice will melt in the polar areas, raising water levels. What are the influences on climate? Mountains play a crucial role in our planet’s climate. In the strictest sense, climate is controlled by the energy absorbed and reflected from the Sun, as well as the heat generated inside the Earth through radioactive reactions. However, considering this energy budget, climate is also controlled by wind, oceans, and mountains.
