PPT-Electromagnetic Radiation and Global Climate change

Chapter 9 Trapped in a Newtonian Universe Though Newtons Apple and Calculus are helpful his theories are only as good as the next round of evidence Now we have electromagnetic fields and energy without tiny solid particles. The Climate is Warming, and Humans are Responsible. The Costs are Astronomical, the Cure Affordable. Individuals can help, Governments and Communities are Essential. Structural Impediments are Enormous. When you complete this module, you will be able to. Explain natural causes of global climate change.. Trace the flow of carbon through the carbon cycle.. Explain the natural and human-related processes that cause increases and decreases in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.. CLOUDS and CLIMATE. Prof. Menglin Susan Jin.

Created and presented by Brandi graham. What is global warming and why is it happening? . 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.

In this lecture, we will:. consider the importance of understanding the science of climate change. 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. . Climate. encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elemental measurements in a given region over long periods. . Questions. August 2014. Q1.. Climate and weather are the same thing.. True . False. 2. A1.. Climate and weather are the same thing.. True . False. Weather is the current conditions of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. Climate is the pattern of weather over . Some of the infrared radiation . passes through the atmosphere, . and some is absorbed and . re-emitted in all . directions by . greenhouse gas . molecules.
