Climate Science

Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary cause of global warming.

Rising global temperatures lead to increased sea levels, more frequent droughts, intensified hurricanes, and various other climate change impacts.

Climate Change refers to the long-term shift in Earth's climate patterns, often associated with human-induced global warming.

Industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions globally, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels for energy production.

Ocean Acidification refers to the decrease in pH of the oceans caused by the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Melting of Permafrost is a positive feedback loop, as it releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, further contributing to global warming.

Agriculture, particularly livestock production and rice cultivation, is the primary source of methane emissions.

Solar Energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of the sun to generate electricity.

Mitigation refers to actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming.

Building Sea Walls is an example of an adaptation strategy to protect coastal areas from rising sea levels.

Paleoclimatology is the study of past climates and climate change using various geological and biological records.

Melting of glaciers due to climate change leads to increased sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of water cycles.

Air-Sea Interaction is the study of the interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans, including heat and moisture exchange.

Methane is a greenhouse gas with a relatively short atmospheric lifetime compared to carbon dioxide.
