Lesson 1 Flashcards
Refers to the change in global or reguonal patterns, in particular, a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased level of atmospheric carbon dioxide by the use of fossil fuels
Climate change
Ranged from more frequent and severe droughts to snowstorms and extreme winter weather in temperature regions as a result warming arctic weather fronts
Anthropogenic climate change
Is a layer primarily water vapor, in the lower atmosphere that trap heat from the sun as it’s reflected pack from earth, radiating it back and keeping our planet at a temperature capable of supporting life
Greenhouse
Six ways by which climate change affects our country
•More intense El Niño
•Sea surface temperature to rise
•Ocean acidification
•Sea levels to rise by 4 to 6 meters
•Tropical cyclories to intensity
•Rainfall over flow and flooding intensify
