“Climate change and Global warming”

The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in

the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of
glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last
ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the
modern climate era; and of human civilization. Most of these
climate changes are attributed to very small variations in
Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our
planet receives.

Throughout its long history, Earth has warmed and cooled time and again. Climate has
changed when the planet received more or less sunlight due to subtle shifts in its orbit,
as the atmosphere or surface changed, or when the Sun’s energy varied. But in the
past century, another force has started to influence Earth’s climate: humanity
How does this warming compare to previous changes in Earth’s climate? How can we
be certain that human-released greenhouse gases are causing the warming? How
much more will the Earth warm? How will Earth respond? Answering these questions is
perhaps the most significant scientific challenge of our time.

But the question is: What is global warming? Global warming is the unusually rapid
increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to
the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels. Changes resulting from
global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as
well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather
events.

The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between.
They’re happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are
surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice; it’s also shifting
precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move.

Global warming will destroy life on Earth in the end: not just human life, but all life on
the planet’s surface, including in the seas. A billion or two years from now, long before
the Sun becomes a red giant and starts fusing helium, the temperatures on our world
will rise too high for plants, animals or any creatures we know to survive. Perhaps we’re
incredibly fortunate that life took the path it did to lead to us; if the Cambrian explosion
or the workings of biological evolution were just a little bit slower, intelligent life like us
may have never had the time to arise.
