  2. Earth's energy budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_energy_budget

    Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) Earth's energy budget (in W/m 2) determines the climate. It is the balance of incoming and outgoing radiation and can be measured by satellites. The Earth's energy imbalance is the "net absorbed" energy amount and grew from +0.6 W/m 2 (2009 est. [ 8]) to above +1.0 W/m 2 in 2019. [ 23]

  3. Warming stripes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warming_stripes

    Warming stripes. An early (2018) warming stripes graphic published by their originator, climatologist Ed Hawkins. [ 1] The progression from blue (cooler) to red (warmer) stripes portrays annual increases of global average temperature since 1850 (left side of graphic) until the date of the graphic (right side). [ 2]

  4. Climate change feedbacks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedbacks

    A 2018 paper estimated that if global warming was limited to 2 °C (3.6 °F), gradual permafrost thaw would add around 0.09 °C (0.16 °F) to global temperatures by 2100, [76] while a 2022 review concluded that every 1 °C (1.8 °F) of global warming would cause 0.04 °C (0.072 °F) and 0.11 °C (0.20 °F) from abrupt thaw by the year 2100 and ...

  5. Effects of climate change on biomes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    It is considered likely that hitting 3.5 °C (6.3 °F) of global warming would trigger the collapse of rainforest to savannah over the course of around a century (50-200) years, although it occur at between 2 °C (3.6 °F) to 6 °C (11 °F) of warming. [78] [79] Forest fires in Indonesia have dramatically increased since 1997 as well. These ...

  6. Causes of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_climate_change

    This has led to increases in mean global temperature, or global warming. The likely range of human-induced surface-level air warming by 2010–2019 compared to levels in 1850–1900 is 0.8 °C to 1.3 °C, with a best estimate of 1.07 °C. This is close to the observed overall warming during that time of 0.9 °C to 1.2 °C.

  7. Greenhouse effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect

    Definition. The greenhouse effect on Earth is defined as: "The infrared radiative effect of all infrared absorbing constituents in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases (GHGs), clouds, and some aerosols absorb terrestrial radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface and elsewhere in the atmosphere." [ 15]: 2232.

  8. Greenhouse gas emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions

    Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the main greenhouse gas resulting from human activities. It accounts for more than half of warming. Methane (CH 4) emissions have almost the same short-term impact. [ 5] Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases) play a lesser role in comparison.

  9. Climate spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_spiral

    The original climate spiral was published on 9 May 2016 by British climate scientist Ed Hawkins to portray global average temperature anomaly (change) since 1850. [6] The visualization graphic has since been expanded to represent other time-varying quantities such as atmospheric CO 2 concentration, [3] carbon budget, [3] and arctic sea ice volume.
