Global warming, the rising temperature of the oceans, land surface and atmosphere, is causing the climate to change. The extra warmth in the atmosphere is energy, and this gives extra power to every storm. Ice is melting all over the world, and when that ice is on land, like glaciers and the Antarctic ice cap, then the water runs into the oceans raising sea levels.

What season does global warming occur?

Global warming is a long-term increase in Earth's overall temperature, which is occurring in all seasons. However, the effects of global warming, such as rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and more extreme weather events, can be more noticeable in certain seasons depending on the region.


Occur when the Earth comes out of an ice age?

Inter-glacial periods occur when the Earth transitions from a glacial period (ice age) to a warmer period. During these periods, temperatures increase, ice sheets retreat, and sea levels rise. Inter-glacials are characterized by a warmer climate, with higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


Where did global warming majorly occur?

Global warming has occurred across the globe, impacting various regions differently. However, some regions that have experienced significant effects of global warming include the Arctic, where temperatures are rising at twice the global average, and low-lying island nations like the Maldives and Tuvalu, which are threatened by sea-level rise. Additionally, areas with glaciers have witnessed rapid melting due to global warming.
