    Study Notes

    Global Warming Overview

    • Defined as the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.

    Misconceptions about Global Warming

    • A statement that is NOT true will often misrepresent the cause-and-effect relationship between human activities and climate variations or oversimplify the complexity of climate systems.

    Consequences of Global Warming

    • Common consequences include rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture, which can threaten biodiversity and food security.

    Direct Associations with Global Warming

    • The most directly associated factor is the increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) from industrial processes, transportation, and deforestation.

    Environmental Changes from Global Warming

    • Global warming can lead to significant changes like increased ocean temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, more frequent and severe storms, melting glaciers, and the loss of polar ice, affecting wildlife habitats and human settlements.
