Some of the basic physical processes that relate global warming to changes in water availability are accessible to the layperson: warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air, and ice melts when heated above a critical temperature. The higher water content of a warmer atmosphere implies ...
Globally on a day-to-day basis the climate change effects are 1–2 % of the natural energy flow, as elaborated on below. However, because global warming is always of one sign, a much bigger impact is from the cumulative effects of these radiative perturbations on the climate. The main ...
Discusses how the El Nino current in the central Pacific area relate to global climate change and food production. Weather conditions associated with the El Nino; Possibility of a relation between global warming and the El Nino phenomenon; Intensity and length of El Nino; Farming and fishing ...
2.3.1. Climate change skepticism Participants completed a 3-item climate change skepticism scale assessing disbelief (versus belief) in climate change, modelled after Ojala (2015; e.g., 1 = I think that global warming is really happening to 5 = I doubt that global warming is really happening...
The IPCC's report on Global Warming of 1.5°C positioned climate change as one of the most worrying issues mankind has ever faced. Although many people worry about climate change, there is still much unknown about the origins and outcomes of worry about climate change; particularly, whether and...
ocean water. This will trigger surface ocean warming, especially in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Warming there is a well-known hallmark of the El Niño climate pattern that often brings intense rains to North and South America and droughts to Australia and other western Pacific countries...
How does hydroelectricity relate to global warming and ocean acidification? How does wind energy affect the carbon cycle? Why does gas have the most kinetic energy? How is solar energy stored in the biosphere? Explain how an electric motor can be used as an electrical generator to generate elec...
How does renewable energy reduce climate change? How do landfills contribute to global warming? How does ecology improve human health? How does pollution affect the biosphere? How can ecological equivalents occur? How do ecological relationships shape the marine ecosystem? What is the difference betwee...
ocean water. This will trigger surface ocean warming, especially in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Warming there is a well-known hallmark of the El Niño climate pattern that often brings intense rains to North and South America and droughts to Australia and other western ...
However, for 25 questions relative to climate change, sea level rise, and the personal and ecological effects of sea level rise, self-evaluation of science knowledge, independent of years of education, was the factor that entered 23 of the models, accounting for the most variability in ratings...
