What is climate change?

What is the overall number of different species?

What are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)?
This trend describes the movement of people from rural areas to urban city centers.
What is urbanization?
Less dissolved oxygen in the ocean results in this change in fish.
What is a decrease in size?
