Climate Change

Includes both human-induced global warming and its large-scale impacts on weather patterns.

• Spare change

• Climate change

• Gradual change

• Farmers Almanac

Ice cores from these locations show that Earth's climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels.

• Greenland

• Antarctica

• Tropical mountain glaciers

• Purity Dairies

This has risen an average of 2.12 degrees Fahrenheit (1.18 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, driven largely by increased carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

• Boiling point of water

• Average surface temperature of the planet

• Melting point of water

• Freezing point of water

Each of the following is an evidence of rapid climate change taking place on planet Earth:

• Cold winters

• Global temperature Rise

• Warming ocean

• Shrinking ice sheets

Each of the following is evidence that rapid climate change is taking place:

• Hot summers

• Declining Arctic sea ice

• Sea level rise

• Decreased snow cover

Each of the following is evidence of rapid climate change taking place on planet Earth:

• Extreme events

• Ocean acidification

• Declining Arctic sea ice

• Rain in tropical areas

In 1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth's atmosphere to:

• Dry ice caps

• Sugary seas

• Global cooling

• Global warming

This results from the increased levels of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and being absorbed by Earth's oceans.

• Aerated water

• Ocean acidification

• Increased salinity

• Lowered barometric pressure

Refers to climate change that has taken place as a result of the activities of humans.

• Spare climate change

• Loose climate change

• Frequent climate change

• Anthropogenic climate change

Involves taking action now to enable a future where the environment and living conditions are protected and enhanced.

• Recklessness

• Paranoia

• Sustainability

• Apathy
