The forward current of any semiconductor device is dependent on temperature. This can cause collector current to increase in an uncompensated circuit. In the worst case, this can cause thermal runaway, and failure of the device. Often, we compensate for temperature by placing biasing limits on the demand for the transistor's gain.

What best describes the current trend of Earth's warming?

The current trend of Earth's warming is primarily attributed to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, leading to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. This rise in greenhouse gases traps heat in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to increase at an accelerated rate compared to natural climate fluctuations. The impacts of this warming trend include climate change-related events such as more frequent and severe heatwaves, storms, and melting polar ice.

Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?

Both sunspot cycles and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere play a role in global warming, but carbon dioxide has a much larger impact. The increase in carbon dioxide levels from burning fossil fuels is the primary driver of the current warming trend. Sunspot cycles have a smaller influence on the Earth's climate compared to human activities.

Is it global warming or the earth's orbit getting closer to the sun?

The main cause of current global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Changes in Earth's orbit are natural and occur over long time scales, but they are not responsible for the rapid warming observed in recent decades.
