  • The warming due to climate change has sped up this process in the Arctic.
  • Global warming refers to the upward temperature trend across the entire Earth since the early 20th century, and most notably since the late 1970s, due to the increase in fossil fuel emissions since the industrial revolution. Worldwide since 1880, the average surface temperature has gone up by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), relative to the mid-20th-century baseline (of 1951-1980).
  • The eastern tropical Pacific was cooler than average, but much of the rest of the globe experienced a warmer than usual September in 2017. The year to date has been the second warmest on record.

  • Global warming is a rise in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere, caused by the greenhouse effect. This is when gases like carbon dioxide collect in the earth’s atmosphere, keeping the sun’s heat from escaping.
  • As temperatures rise, our planet is feeling the effect. Ecosystems where animals and plants live in balance together—like coral reefs—are beginning to disappear because the higher temperatures can affect food supplies.
  • Some Greenhouse gases are Carbon Dioxide, and Methane.

  • “Scientists believe the Antarctic Peninsula is warming five times faster than the average rate of global warming. Warmer winter temperatures and stronger winds mean that the penguins have had to raise their chicks on increasingly thinner sea ice. Because temperatures are warming sooner than ever, sea ice breaks off earlier in the penguins' breeding season. Many eggs and chicks have been blown away before they were ready to survive on their own.”
  • "The warming climate means warmer, wetter air and too much snow at the wrong time of year. Penguins have to wait for snow to melt and they are breeding later—much too late," she added. Hansen believes the competition for territory and food among the different species is "a recipe for disaster."

  • Clouds and soil help the climate change, and so weather people know when it's going to rain.
  • As the soils warm there releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
  • Rain forms when small cloud droplets collide with each other, and if you have a lot of these collisions then that can generate a really large drop that can fall out of the cloud.
  • Soils are very heterogeneous which means they are really different from place to place because there could be different plants growing there, or there could be a squirrel that dug there.
  • Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term regional or even global average of temperature, humidity and rainfall patterns over seasons, years or decades.

  • One of the questions are how much temperature has changed between the last 20 years.
  • Another one of my questions are  witch state has changed the most within the last 25 years.
  • My last questions is how do we help the animals that are affected in the global warming.

If you install floor heat, then that sends out signals of Carbon Dioxide. ]]> 2017-10-30 16:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/caschultz/7lpvpwhavffk/wish/201806850 My Model caschultz https://padlet.com/caschultz/7lpvpwhavffk/wish/202592002 2017-11-01 16:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/caschultz/7lpvpwhavffk/wish/202592002
