China's climate is changing due to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels. The average temperature in China has increased by about 1°C (1.8°F) since the late 19th century. This warming trend is expected to continue in the future and is likely to have a significant impact on China's climate, vegetation, and water resources.
