C
weather
D
atmospheric warming
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Global Warming is the gradual increase in the overall temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. It begins with a phenomenon called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect occurs when there is an interaction between Earth’s atmosphere and the radiation from the sun.

Detailed explanation-2: -Global warming is basically a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s lower atmosphere. It is primarily due to the trapping of heat by the greenhouse gases.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Global warming” refers to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. “Climate change” refers to the increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time – including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to NOAA’s 2021 Annual Climate Report the combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0.08 degrees Celsius) per decade since 1880; however, the average rate of increase since 1981 has been more than twice as fast: 0.32 °F (0.18 °C) per decade.

Detailed explanation-5: -Global warming is a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s lower atmosphere as a result of the increase in greenhouse gases. Through the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
