Study Notes
- Sunlight hitting Earth can be reflected, pass through, or be absorbed and heat up the planet.
- The Black Body Effect causes objects warmer than their surroundings to radiate energy.
- The Greenhouse Effect traps heat in the atmosphere, making it warmer than it would be without it.
- Global warming is caused by an increase in greenhouse gases, including CO2, CH4, and N2O.
- Climate change is a long-term change in weather patterns due to an increase in energy in the atmosphere.
- The IPCC assesses scientific, technical, and socio-economical information relevant to the understanding of human-induced climate change.
- Working Group 1 of the IPCC has released six reports since 1988.
- The IPCC has concluded that warming is unequivocal and most of it is due to human activities.
- Limiting future climate change will require substantial and sustained reductions in emissions.
- Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have increased to levels unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years.
