NASA scientists have observed Earth's surface is warming, and many of the warmest years on record have happened in the past 20 years.

When used without qualification, "weather" is generally understood to mean the weather of Earth.]]> 2020-10-18 05:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838319013 Manav_Sharma https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838323564 The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. Both weather and climate refer to local conditions (temperature, rainfall, wind strength, etc.) in a particular location or region, but the main difference between them is a matter of time. “Weather” refers to local conditions on the scale of minutes, hours, days, and even months to years: you can have a particularly wet month, warm winter, or rainy decade. “Climate” is an average of weather conditions over 30 years or more, and can be assessed for a single location, large area, or globally.]]> 2020-10-18 05:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838323564 Manav_Sharma https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838329216 Considerable uncertainty surrounds projections of climate change and its ecological consequences. A survey shows that 2329 environmental biologists found that greater expertise is associated with projections of greater climatic change and more severe consequences. The opinions of scientists with greater expertise converge, and they expect larger temperature increases, higher percentages of species extinctions, and a high percentage of species' ranges will change in response to climate change over the next 100 years. ]]> 2020-10-18 05:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838329216 Manav_Sharma https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838330940 Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years. Some of the meteorological variables that are commonly measured are temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and precipitation. In a broader sense, climate is the state of the components of the climate system, which includes the ocean and ice on Earth. The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents.]]> 2020-10-18 05:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838330940 Manav_Sharma https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838339201 Global temperatures have increased by about 1° Celsius in the past century.]]> 2020-10-18 06:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838339201 Manav_Sharma https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838347583 The wind doesn’t make a sound until it blows against an object.

The energy used to power, heat, and cool our homes, businesses, and industries is the single largest contributor to global warming. Energy efficiency technologies allow us to use less energy to get the same—or higher—level of production, service, and comfort. This approach has vast potential to save both energy and money, and can be deployed quickly.]]> 2020-10-18 06:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/838350283 Manav_Sharma https://padlet.com/manav_sharma/tkbpzyxprd0mn5su/wish/860740823 2019 ​was the second warmest year on record.
