Global warming is being caused by too much carbon pollution in the atmosphere. We need to stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and move to renewable energy (wind, solar and others). One of the ways to do this is to make carbon polluters pay for a permit to pollute. The cost of this permit will encourage them to move to renewable energy.
Only governments can do this. People of good will can reduce their own carbon footprint, but the really big stuff has to come from governments.
Carbon polluters can compensate for their emissions by planting, or getting others to plant, billions of trees. Again, this can more simply be done through a system of trading carbon. Some governments have established a carbon permit scheme already.
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.
The key role of the government in controlling global warming is to provide leadership in bringing about change. Unfortunately, some governments do not have the political will to provide leadership just when it is needed most.
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.
Global warming or global climate change is a type of warming that shows the trend in the increasing temperature of Earth.
No there is not. Climate change/global warming or cooling is a natural phenomena. We may be able to reduce the rate of change by sensible use of energy.
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.
Global warming is an effect of climate change. Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. Global warming specifically refers to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels.
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.
Brazil itself is the main cause of global warming and climate change as they are continuously chopping down the rainforests!
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.
Climate change
It can change the climate
Global warming
Climate change. Though that is actually caused by global warming.
What is causing climate change? (Global Warming)What is causing global warming? (Burning fossil fuels, deforestation)How can we stop climate change? (Change to renewable energy instead of fossil fuels)What can we do at home? (Don't waste any electricity. Reduce private transport use)How can we change governments minds? (Vote for Carbon pricing and Green energy)
"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).
Sarah Palin's stance is she does not believe in global warming. She thinks climate change is do to regular climate fluctuation.
