- Global warming | Definition, Causes, Effects, Solutions, Facts . . .
Global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air temperatures near Earth’s surface over the past one to two centuries, happens mostly in the troposphere, the lowest level of the atmosphere, which extends from Earth’s surface up to a height of 6–11 miles
- Global Warming - National Geographic Society
People often use the terms “global warming” and “climate change” interchangeably, but they are different Global warming refers to Earth’s rising average temperature, while climate change refers to changes in weather patterns and growing seasons around the world
- Climate change - Wikipedia
Present-day climate change includes both global warming —the ongoing increase in global average temperature —and its wider effects on Earth's climate system Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate
- What Is Climate Change? - NASA Science
Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere
