Global warming, which is a gradual rising of Earth's temperature, is different from all these, representing a scale of threat greater than anything humans have faced in recent history. That's why some people now refer to it as "global heating" or the "climate emergency." Unless we tackle ...

Examines the science and arguments of global warming skepticism. Common objections like 'global warming is caused by the sun', 'temperature has changed naturally in the past' or 'other planets are warming too' are examined to see what the science really
The above graph(colour indicators added for clarity)shows the relationship between temperature, CO2and methane during the Glacial-Interglacial transition, the temperature clearly leading CO2(three matched transitions shown by blue arrows). The `YD' refers to the `Younger Dryas' cooling episode and `...
Graph 1: Graph 2: Part.II (2-5) How global warming comes about. The rise in carbon dioxide is causing a steady increase in temperature. burning fossil fuels more heat trapped result in byproduct more CO2 Global Warming Part.III (6) List two different attitudes among scientists towards ...
Look at theeven more rapid risein temperature since around 1970. Spectacular. Especially if you compare the huge change in the world, that occurred as a very slow 3 degree rise swept away the recent Glacial Age. And think about the major changes to the physical world, yet to come from th...
We patterned and visualized the time series (103 years, from 1918 to 2020) of global surface temperature (GTemp) data with the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, human population (Pop), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of South Korea using a self-organizing map (SOM) and examined...
The analogy to the days getting longer is the rising concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. (Temperature will, of course, fluctuate during the year according to time and place, and even year-to-year statistical measures like the average global temperature don’t increase in lockstep, with each...
There is a reason why "scientists" persist in saying the global temperature is rising due to human emissions of CO2 and why CO2 is the great villain of global warming alarmists, and I will cover this in the next article. Part Three in this series of environmental articles will attempt to ...
Why does global temperature change from one year to the next? Play the interactive video to find out. Now, test your knowledge! Use the temperature graph from the interactive video on the previous slide to help you answer the question. ...
