No. A heat wave is a period of unsually high temperatures in an area that usually lasts a few days or a few weeks. Heat waves are weather events that ocurr sometimes, with our without a change in climate
Global warming is a long-term trend of overall increasing average global temperatures

What might global warming do to us?
Global warming is the same thing as greenhouse effects. They trap a lot of heat and lets the remaining heat get away into space. Therefore, global warming heats up the Earth making it warmer.
Do global temperature and global warming means the same thing?
No, they don't.
Is Global warming and the hole in the ozone layer the same thing?
No.
How are each of the global warming issues the same?
They each point to the Same Thing.
What is a word or phrase that has the same meaning as global warming?
The answer you are looking for is climate change.However, the question is incorrect. Global warming is not the same as climate change. Global warming is the warming of the earth. Climate change is the result of this warming.
Is greenhouse effect is the other name of global warming?
Strictly speaking there is no other name for global warming."The whole earth heating up" might be another name.Global warming is causing climate change, so many people think they are both the same, so they say:"Climate change is another name for global warming", but they are not really the same.
Does global warming and holes in the ozone layer share the same effect?
Yes they do share the same effect. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases block the temperature to troposphere. Thus heat cannot escape to Stratosphere.No
What is the overall rise in earth's average temperature called?
The rise in temperature is called Global Warming. This global warming of the earth is causing Climate Change. These two things are not the same thing.
Is global warming the same as pollution?
No. Pollution is the main cause of global warming. Pollutants such as greenhouse gases are often trapped in the atmosphere. As a result, heat is retained inside. This heat is what causes temperatures around the globe to rise thus causing global warming. As with any issue, there are many investigations and experiments that argument in favor and against this global warming theory. However, most of them show it is a real situation and a real threat in the near future.
Is global warming and global competition the same?
Global warming is the gradual change in climate as more and more greenhouse gases build up a layer in the atmosphere that stops the earth's heat escaping out to space. Global competition is the urge on the part of countries to be better than their neighbors.
What is the effect of CFLs on global warming?
They don't prevent global warming, they play a small part in reducing global warming. Energy efficient lightbulbs need less energy to produce the same amount of light, as older bulbs also produced heat, which was wasted. Any way of using less energy is useful, especially if everyone does it.
Is global warming the same as global temperature rise?
Yes.
