Abstract
Global warming-induced climate change is a severe worldwide issue that has far-reaching effects on the ecology and biological evolution of the planet. Numerous experts study how the climate is changing globally and even in particular areas. This essay's topic is an analysis of Seattle's climate change using literature and data. To determine if Seattle's climate has altered recently, this thesis first examined the city's precipitation, temperature, sea level, and urban excessive heat from four different perspectives. Next, using data on climate change, examine the connection between climate change and global warming. The findings: There is a connection between global warming and climatic change in Seattle. The conclusion is that people continue to underestimate how much the environment is deteriorating due to societal development. For the sake of the planet and all life on it, humanity should strike a balance between environmental preservation and economic growth. Nonetheless, the goal of this thesis is to shed light on environmental changes occurring in Seattle and to identify and address issues that improve the planet.
