Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth's climate. Learning Objectives. :. To understand the evidence for and against global climate change- World and UK temperatures for the last 100 and 1000 years. To know the causes of global warming. To know the consequences of global climate change- social, economic, environmental and political consequences of global climate change and how they change the way we live. . Background and Standing. Procedural Background. 3. What did the petition of October 20, 1999 ask the EPA to do? . On October 20, 1999, a group of 19 private organizations filed a rulemaking petition asking EPA to regulate "greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles under §202 of the Clean Air Act." . Climate change. Climate change can be discussed in short, medium and long timescales. . Short-term (recent) climate change is on a timescale of decades, an example would be global warming. . The medium-term (historical) timescale covers changes over the last few thousand years..

Is there a Scientific Controversy about the Cause of Global Warming?. Key Message #1. 2. Ch. 2 | Our Changing Climate. Global climate is changing rapidly compared to the pace of natural variations in climate that have occurred throughout Earth’s history. Global average temperature has increased by about 1.8°F from 1901 to 2017, and observational evidence does not support any credible natural explanations for this amount of warming; instead, the evidence consistently points to human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse or heat-trapping gases, as the dominant cause.. :.
