What Is Climate Change? Climate change is a broad term referring to the various changes in climate patterns, weather, natural disasters, and more that have happened on Earth, namely since the end of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-19th century. The average global temperature has risen by...
In this Science 101: What is climate resilience video, engineer Tom Wall and scientist Rao Kotamarthi describe how experts are preparing our nation’s infrastructure – transportation, hospitals, manufacturing, food supplies – to withstand the effects of climate change. The first step is to build ...
The Physical Science Basis, the devastating damage caused by climate change is opening an unprecedented social and environmental rift. In 2018, the IPCC warned of the urgent need to limit warming to 1.5ºC by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that ...
Thus, the paper argues that global climate change is primarily a societal issue that needs a societal response much more than a technological one. Further, it presents a case for considering science education as an important element of societal response to global climate change. In the end, the...
Scientists are asking: What is the best way to fight climate change? A new study says: plant many trees; one trillion trees, maybe more. Swiss scientists say there is enough room for that many trees. In their report in the journal Science, they say there is enough space on theearth, ...
Climate change is any long-term alteration in average weather patterns, either globally or regionally. Climate change has occurred many times in Earth's history, and for many different reasons. The changes in global temperature and weather patterns seen today, however, are caused by human activity...
Weather consists of those meteorological events, such as rain, wind and sunshine, which can change day-by-day or even hour-by-hour. Climate is the average of all these events, taken over a period of time. The climate varies over different parts of the world. Climate is usually defined as...
