- Global warming | Definition, Causes, Effects, Solutions, Facts . . .
Modern global warming is the result of an increase in magnitude of the so-called greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere caused by the presence of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and other greenhouse gases
- 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
- 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
- Global Warming - NASA Science
Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels
- What are the effects of global warming? | National Geographic
When fossil fuel emissions are pumped into the atmosphere, they change the chemistry of our atmosphere, allowing sunlight to reach the Earth but preventing heat from being released into space This
- Climate Change Overview | Climate Change Knowledge Portal
Climate Change Overview -Observations of the climate system are based on direct physical and biogeochemical measurements, and remote sensing from ground stations and satellites Information derived from paleoclimate archives provides a long-term context of past climates Different types of environmental evidence are used to understand what the Earth’s past climate was like and why Records
- What is global warming? - The Institute for Environmental Research and . . .
Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system 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
- What is Climate Change? - U. S. National Park Service
The terms global warming and climate change are often used interchangeably, but the two phenomena are different Global warming is the rise in global mean temperature due to the rampant release of heat trapping gasses like carbon dioxide and methane (see figure below)
