Bookmark or Share- Climate change - WikipediaIn common usage, climate change describes global warming —the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate.
- Climate Change: Global Temperature | NOAA Climate.govThe rate of warming since 1982 is more than three times as fast: 0.36° F (0.20° C) per decade. 2023 was the warmest year since global records began in 1850 by a wide margin. It was 2.12 °F (1.18 °C) above the 20th-century average of 57.0°F (13.9°C). It was 2.43 °F (1.35 °C) above the pre-industrial average (1850-1900).
- Global warming | Definition, Causes, Effects, Solutions ...Global warming, the phenomenon of rising average air temperatures near Earth’s surface over the past 100 to 200 years. Although Earth’s climate has been evolving since the dawn of geologic time, human activities since the Industrial Revolution have a growing influence over the pace and extent of climate change.
- Climate Change - Science@NASAThe effects of human-caused global warming are happening now, are irreversible for people alive today, and will worsen as long as humans add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. We already see effects scientists predicted, such as the loss of sea ice, melting glaciers and ice sheets, sea level rise, and more intense heat waves.
- The Causes of Climate Change - Science@NASATakeaways Increasing Greenhouses Gases Are Warming the Planet Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the “greenhouse effect”1 — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Life on Earth depends on energy coming from the Sun. About half the light […]
