Study Notes

  • The greenhouse effect is responsible for the Earth's average temperature being around 15°C.
  • Greenhouse gases absorb and re-emit thermal radiation, altering the energy balance and leading to warming.
  • Carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas, with over 80% of emissions coming from fossil fuels.
  • Concentrations of carbon dioxide have increased significantly in recent decades, surpassing historical ranges.
  • Climate change is expected to significantly alter the global climate in the coming century due to increased greenhouse gas concentrations.
  • Temperature could increase by 1.5 to 4.5°C, and other planetary systems could also be impacted.
  • The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify, but regional responses to precipitation will vary.
  • Glaciers are retreating, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent.
  • The scientific community now uses the term "climate change" instead of "global warming."
  • Svante Arrhenius made early contributions to the theory of the greenhouse effect in the late 19th century.
