Climate change/Intro. Surface air temperature change over the past 50 years. [1] In 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 can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history. Global warming—used as early as 1975 —became the more popular term after NASA climate scientist James Hansen used it in his 1988 testimony in the U.S. Senate. Since the 2000s, climate change has increased usage.
Climate change scenario. A climate change scenario is a hypothetical future based on a "set of key driving forces". [1] : 1812 Scenarios explore the long-term effectiveness of mitigation and adaptation. [2] Scenarios help to understand what the future may hold.
Scientifically, global warming refers only to increased surface warming, while climate change describes both global warming and its effects on Earth's climate system, such as precipitation changes. Climate change can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history.
Representative Concentration Pathways ( RCP) are climate change scenarios to project future greenhouse gas concentrations. These pathways (or trajectories) describe future greenhouse gas concentrations (not emissions) and have been formally adopted by the IPCC. The pathways describe different climate change scenarios, all of which were ...
Ozone depletion and climate change, or Ozone hole global warming in more popular terms, are environmental challenges whose connections have been explored and which have been compared and contrasted, for example in terms of global regulation, in various studies and books. There is widespread scientific interest in better regulation of climate ...
Climate change feedbacks are natural processes which impact how much global temperatures will increase for a given amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Positive feedbacks amplify global warming while negative feedbacks diminish it. [2] : 2233 Feedbacks influence both the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the amount of temperature ...
