Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.

How are you related to global warming?

If you use electricity, or ride in a car, or drink a can of beverage, then you are, in a small way, contributing to global warming. Global warming is happening because billions of us are all doing the same as you.


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.


What type of global warming is there in Wales?

There is only one type of global warming, the increase in temperature averaged all over the planet. The results of global warming, that is, climate change, will be different around the world. Changes in the Gulf Stream may make Wales colder initially rather than warmer, for example.


What is the effect of CFLs on global warming?

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) can help reduce global warming by lowering energy consumption compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. CFLs use less electricity to produce the same amount of light, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Switching to CFLs can contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and combating global warming.


What is the relationship between the thinning of the ozone layer in global warming?

Thinning of the ozone layer contributes to global warming by allowing more ultraviolet (UV) radiation to reach the Earth's surface. This UV radiation warms the Earth's surface, adding to the overall temperature increase. Additionally, some ozone-depleting substances (such as chlorofluorocarbons) are also potent greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, further exacerbating global warming.

What is severe damage to the environment called?

The earth has so much severe damage. Firstly, the most hazardous of all is termed Global warming. Global warming is more severe than the others. Another just as severe damage as Global warming is Ozone depletion which I think is as severe as Global warming if not the same.


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.


Is global warming the same as global temperature rise?

Yes.


Do global temperature and global warming means the same thing?

No, they don't.


Why does global warming stop healing ozone depletion?

Global warming relates with ozone depletion. The same is true for reverse.


What can volcanic gas do to an environment?

You are likely familiar with the term "Global Warming." Well, volcanic gases are essentially the same as those that scientist who subscribe to the the Global Warming theories claim man is producing. CO2, Sulfur Dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, etc.

What is climate change global warming causing?

"Climate Change" and "Global Warming" are not the same, though related. Global Warming causes Climate Change. With Global Warming we understand the warming of the earth's global temperature. That warming has in turn an effect on the earth's global climate and on more localized climates (like the climate of England or Western US).


How are each of the global warming issues the same?

They each point to the Same Thing.

Is Global warming and the hole in the ozone layer the same thing?
