Is sea level rising?Global mean sea level has been rising
Are greenhouse gases increasing?Human activity has been increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
What is the greenhouse effect, and is it affecting our climate?The greenhouse effect is unquestionably real and helps to regulate the temperature of our planet.
.
Is the climate becoming more variable or extreme?
.
What is the greenhouse effect?The greenhouse effect is natural and necessary for life on Earth.
Has the earth?s temperature increased over the last 100 years in step with increasing atmospheric CO2?No.
Has the earth?s temperature increased over the past two decades?Very little
Will global warming cause the spread of infectious diseases?This is not likely.
Will global warming produce more violent storms?This is not likely.
Will the earth?s climate change in other ways?Predictions of changes in other aspects of climate, such as precipitation and sea-level rise, are even more uncertain than the projections of global temperature.
. Can global warming lead to an ice age?According to the best available science, this is very unlikely
What are some of the impacts we can expect from climate change?The impacts of climate change will vary from place to place, but we can expect more severe and frequent storms (such as hurricanes and ice storms), heat waves, floods, droughts and wildfires.
Should I be worried about climate change? Will it affect me personally?An increase of just a few degrees in average temperature can cause dramatic changes in conditions that are important to the quality of life—and even the Earth’s ability to support life.
What can we do right now to slow climate change and make a real difference?While it’s impossible for any one individual to prevent global warming, we each have a direct impact on the conditions that allow warming to occur. We can pledge to do our part to conserve energy and pollute less. Whether at home, on our commute to work or school, in the office, or at the store, there are things we can do to lessen our contribution to climate change.
Which countries contribute the most to global warming?Europe, Japan, and North America(fossil fuels.)
What are climate change and global warming? Global warming refers to an increase in average global temperatures, which in turn causes climate change.
Climate change refers to changes in seasonal temperature, precipitation, wind, and humidity for a given area. Climate change can involve cooling or warming.
What role does human activity play in the current global warming trend?
Human activities also produce greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is released when we burn fossil fuels to produce electricity;
. What role can governments play in addressing climate change?Governments can enact laws and tax policies that encourage energy conservation; the development and use of more energy-efficient cars, buildings, and appliances; and the development and use of renewable energy such as solar and wind power and bio-fuels
