Deforestation
A United Nations body that analyzes climate change science.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Refers to the statistically significant changes in climate for a continuous period.
Climate change
6 natural changes of climate change.
Volcanic eruption
Orbital changes
Carbon Dioxide theory
Human activities
Global warming
Greenhouse gases
Can cause a cooling effect to the lithosphere that can block a certain percentage of solar
radiation because it emitted aerosol.
Volcanic eruption
As the earth travels through space around
the sun, cyclical variations in three elements of earth sun geometry combine to produce variations in the amount of solar energy that reaches earth.
Orbital changes
The excess heat in the atmosphere that has
caused the average global temperature to rise over time.
Global warming
Gases that absorb and emit radiant energy within the thermal infrared range, causing the greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse gases
Example of greenhouse gases.
Carbon dioxide
Methane
Nitrous oxide
Flourinated gases
