The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to the surface of the Earth by “greenhouse gases.” These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around the Earth, which keeps it toastier than it would be without them. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides.

The increasing human population has led to a rapid increase in consumption over the past 200 years. Burning fossil fuels, increasing livestock populations, deforestation and accumulation of garbage in landfills are the main effects of this consumption. These activities all have lead to an increase in the accumulation of Greenhouse gases (CO2, methane and water vapor) in our atmosphere, which trap heat. Thus the Earth's overall global temperature has risen over the past several decades, leading to the overall phenomenon of climate change. Global warming and climate change are different. Global warming refers to the increasing overall average temperature on Earth. Climate change refers to the changes that result from increasing overall global temperature. Even small increases in the overall global temperature can have huge impacts for the many different climates on Earth. For example, a dry locale could become more rainy. Or another location could experience even colder temperatures than normal. Increasing rain could decrease the availability of habitable land and change the makeup of local flora and fauna, resulting in changes to the local ecosystem. Colder temperatures could result in less availability of food in a certain area and initiate mass migrations of local birds, for example. Thus a change to Earth's atmospheric concentration of gases leads a cascade of changes that ultimately have huge impacts on all species of life on Earth.

The increasing greenhouse effect will affect several aspects on global warming. This will lead to higher sea levels that will affect inhabited coastal areas, the melting of the polar caps that might even lead to stopping the Gulf stream and the increase of severe weather.

# data[].attributes.body
The activities of human on earth have resulted in changing the atmosphere temperature leading to global warming. Ongoing effects include rising sea levels due to thermal expansion and melting of glaciers and ice sheets, and warming of the ocean surface, leading to increased temperature stratification. Other possible effects include large-scale changes in ocean circulation.

Climate change is change in temperature , in rainfall patterns and frequency of weather changing events.

As the Air climate warms up, high temperatures it changes the nature of global rainfall, evaporation, snow, stream flow and other factors that affect water supply and quality. Specific impacts include: Warmer water temperatures affect water quality and accelerate water pollution.

Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth's local, regional and global climates. These changes have a broad range of observed effects that are synonymous with the term.

Changes observed in Earth's climate since the mid-20th century are driven by human activities, particularly fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere, raising Earth's average surface temperature. Natural processes, which have been overwhelmed by human activities, can also contribute to climate change, including internal variability (e.g., cyclical ocean patterns like El Niño, La Niña and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation) and external forcings (e.g., volcanic activity, changes in the Sun's energy output, variations in Earth's orbit).

Scientists use observations from the ground, air, and space, along with computer models, to monitor and study past, present, and future climate change. Climate data records provide evidence of climate change key indicators, such as global land and ocean temperature increases; rising sea levels; ice loss at Earth's poles and in mountain glaciers; frequency and severity changes in extreme weather such as hurricanes, heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and precipitation; and cloud and vegetation cover changes.

"Climate change" and "global warming" are often used interchangeably but have distinct meanings. Similarly, the terms "weather" and "climate" are sometimes confused, though they refer to events with broadly different spatial- and timescales.

What Is Global Warming?

This graph illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures, with the year 2020 statistically tying with 2016 for hottest on record (Source: NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies). Learn more about global surface temperature here. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere. This term is not interchangeable with the term "climate change."

Since the pre-industrial period, human activities are estimated to have increased Earth's global average temperature by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), a number that is currently increasing by more than 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade. The current warming trend is unequivocally the result of human activity since the 1950s and is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over millennia.

Weather vs. Climate

"If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes."

Weather refers to atmospheric conditions that occur locally over short periods of time-from minutes to hours or days. Familiar examples include rain, snow, clouds, winds, floods, or thunderstorms.

Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term (usually at least 30 years) regional or even global average of temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns over seasons, years, or decades.

(Note: this is the first time I ever made a concept map)
It is important to acknowledge that every single one of the 4 Earth system only exists together with the other 3 - everything is connected. So when one of them is "out of balance", it will be noted in all others. Also every event has consequences, not only within the system, but affecting all others. Climate change is the ultimate expression of the systems' being "out of balance".
