THE CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING Global Warming Causes. Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations, carbon accumulates and overloads our GLOBAL WARMING GLOSSARY Aerosols - A collection of airborne solid or liquid particles, with a typical size between 0.01 and 10 micrometer (~0.00000039 and ~0.00039 inch) that reside in the atmosphere for at least several hours. Aerosols may be of either natural or human origin. Aerosols may influence climate in several ways: directly through scattering andabsorbing
GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON LAND Rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns are changing the geographic areas where mammals, birds, insects, and plants that live on land can survive—and are affecting the timing of lifecycle events, such as bud bursts, leaf drop from trees, pollination, reproduction, and bird migration. See how global warming threatenswildlife
GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON RAIN AND SNOW In warmer months, it takes the form of torrential rainstorms; in winter, blizzards are more likely. At the same time, most regions, in the face of warming temperatures, are losing snow cover on the ground that lasts longer than 30 days. Winters are shorter, fewer cold records are set, more precipitation is falling as rain and less assnow
GLOBAL WARMING IN THE POLAR REGIONS Progress at the international level toward a binding agreement to reduce global warming emissions is critical to ensuring the future stability of the polar regions. The Arctic (North Pole) has shown the most rapid rate of warming, with dramatic effects such as shrinking of this region's glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and permafrost.

Temperatures in the interior mountain ranges of British Columbia have risen faster than the global average, particularly during the winter. 5,6 By 2010 the mountain pine beetle had killed almost 24.5 billion cubic feet (692 million cubic meters) of timber GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON SEA ICE The cascade of consequences include: Accelerated warming from albedo. Lost sea ice exposes dark, open waters, dramatically shifting the ocean surface from highly reflective to one that absorbs most of the sun's energy. This can set off a vicious cycle: ice loss leads to further warming of the ocean surface, which can lead to more ice loss. CORAL DESTRUCTION TO GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA Details. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest continuous reef system, extending more than 1,300 miles (2,100 kilometers) through the Coral Sea off northeastern Australia. 2 The reef is home to more than 400 types of coral, as well as coral sponges, mollusks, rays, dolphins, and a diverse array of tropical fish, birds, and reptiles. 3 The reef is a breeding ground for humpback whales GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS MAP Explore the Climate Hot Map to see evidence of climate change including heat waves, sea-level rise, flooding, melting glaciers, earlier spring arrival, coral reef bleaching, and the spread of disease.

GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON OCEAN TEMPERATURE Ocean Temperature. Warmer oceans put coastal communities at risk, increase infrastructure costs, endanger polar creatures and threaten coral reefs and fisheries. Perhaps most alarmingly, rising ocean temperatures accelerate the overall warming trend. See how rising ocean temperature has killed off coral reefs in the Florida Keys—and find
GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON SEA LEVEL The consequences of sea level rise include: Threats to coastal communities. Some 40 percent of the world's population lives within 62 miles (100 kilometers) of the ocean, putting millions of lives and billions of dollars' worth of property and infrastructure at risk. High tides and storm surges riding on ever-higher seas are moredangerous to
GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON RAIN AND SNOW In warmer months, it takes the form of torrential rainstorms; in winter, blizzards are more likely. At the same time, most regions, in the face of warming temperatures, are losing snow cover on the ground that lasts longer than 30 days. Winters are shorter, fewer cold records are set, more precipitation is falling as rain and less assnow
GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON SEA ICE The cascade of consequences include: Accelerated warming from albedo. Lost sea ice exposes dark, open waters, dramatically shifting the ocean surface from highly reflective to one that absorbs most of the sun's energy. This can set off a vicious cycle: ice loss leads to further warming of the ocean surface, which can lead to more ice loss. GLOBAL WARMING IN ASIA Solutions to Global Warming in Asia Solutions to global warming across the varied countries of the Asian region include providing cleaner cook stoves to rural families, improving rice cultivation to decrease methane emissions, reducing emissions from deforestation, cutting a deepening dependence on carbon-emitting coal, and tackling emissions from a growing number of cars, trucks, and buses.

"Observational evidence from all continents and most oceans shows that many natural systems are being affected by regional climate changes, particularly temperature increases." _–Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2007_ Explore the signs of global warming on this map or Google Earth. The evidence of climate change includes heat waves, sea-level rise, flooding, melting glaciers, earlier spring arrival, coral reef bleaching, and the spread of disease. The greatest concentration of global warming indicators on the map is in North America and Europe because that is where most scientific investigation has been done to date. As scientists focus increasingly on fingerprints of global warming in other regions—from Russia to Antarctica and Oceania to South America—the evidence they find will be added to the map. Scientists project that unless emissions of heat-trapping gases are brought undercontrol, the impacts of climate change are likely toincrease.
HEALTH
Public health impacts include injuries and deaths from heat waves; more intense storms, floods, and wildfires; more severe and frequent bad-air days; and changes in disease pathways and allergen potency. Discover how global warming impacts our health.
FOOD
Climate change threatens crops, livestock, and fisheries owing to heat-induced declines in productivity, changes in rainfall timing and intensity, and shifts in the abundance and types of fish and pests. Learn about global warming effects on food.
WATER USE
A changing climate poses risks to the quality and supply of water for drinking, irrigation, shipping, and recreation. For example, rising seas can intrude into coastal groundwater used for drinking. Read about global warming effects on our water supply.
COSTS
Climate impacts cost time and money by damaging critical infrastructure, disrupting economic activity, escalating medical expenses, losing work days, and requiring adaptations such as moving people out of harm's way. See how global warming affects the economy.
EXTREME WET
The atmosphere in a warming world holds more water vapor, creating a trend toward more intense precipitation events. Torrential rainstorms and severe blizzards can lead to flooding. Read more about global warming effects on rain and snow.
EXTREME DRY
Higher temperatures accelerate the transfer of water from land surfaces and plants to the atmosphere. This can result in extremely dry conditions in areas with less rain. Read how global warming contributes to droughts .LAND ICE
This category encompasses ice that lasts longer than a year on land, including mountain glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and permafrost—most of which are shrinking because of global warming. Discover how land ice is threatened by global warming.
SEA LEVEL
The release of water and ice from glaciers, ice sheets, and ice caps directly into the ocean raises sea level. Sea level also rises as the warming ocean expands. Read more about global warming effects on sealevel .
SEA ICE
Melting sea ice does not raise sea level, but it does create a cascade of consequences for regional temperatures, reflectivity of ocean surfaces, and creatures that depend on ice. Read about global warming effects on sea ice .OCEAN CHEMISTRY
Climate-related changes to ocean chemistry include higher or lower salinity, shifting patterns of nutrients and increasing acidity owing to excess carbon dioxide. Find out how global warming affects oceanchemistry .
LAKES AND RIVERS
Climate change is already adversely affecting the habitats of some animals, fish, and plants that live in freshwater lakes and rivers, while creating new habitats for other species. See how lakes and rivers are impacted by global warming.
LAND
Changes in the habitats and life-cycle events of plants and animals that live on land—such as the timing of bud burst, reproduction, and bird migration—are already under way. Find out how global warming affects plants and animals.
SALT WATER
Marine plants and animals are already responding to climate-induced changes in ocean chemistry, habitats, and life-cycle events, such as the abundance of phytoplantkton and the growth of young fish. Learn about global warming effects on salt water species.
AIR
Rising air temperatures bring heat waves, spread disease, shift plant and animal habitat and cause extreme weather events, from drought to blizzards. Learn about the wide-ranging effects of warmer airtemperatures .
OCEAN
Warmer oceans put coastal communities at risk, increase infrastructure costs, endanger polar creatures, threaten coral reefs and fisheries, and accelerate the overall warming trend. Learn about the impacts of rising ocean temperatures.
WATER
Warmer lakes, rivers and streams threaten aquatic species, by disrupting reproductive cycles, displacing cold-water species and creating dead zones in deep lakes. Learn about global warming effects on freshwater species.
GROUND
Thawing permafrost alters local ecosystems, destabilizes infrastructure and releases heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, which spurs more climate change. Read how increasing ground temperatures worsen global warming.
