Summary: | Abstract: The term ‘global warming’ is largely recognized by the general public as an increasing annual average global surface temperature. This is often perceived to be the only result of the increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities. ‘Climate change’ is now the term often used to describe the effects of these emissions on our environment. Global warming is a part of climate change, along with changes in weather patterns, sea level, etc. However, regional temperature extremes (cold surges and heat waves), in association with increased variability in severe weather events such as hurricanes, are the more important aspects of climate change. These affect societies and ecosystems more directly than does the global climate average. ... |
