    Climate change refers to the long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns over multiple decades or longer. The document discusses evidence that climate change is currently occurring and affecting regions like Alaska through more frequent and severe wildfires, as well as predictions that Alaska's average temperatures will rise significantly if climate change is not addressed. However, some remain skeptical that human-caused climate change exists, with skeptics tending to be older, politically conservative males who interpret the science through the lens of their existing ideological views. While both supporters and deniers of climate change cite reports and evidence for their positions, the document concludes that the preponderance of evidence shows climate change is happening and bringing new weather outcomes.
