Global Climate Change
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The global average surface temperature has increased over the 20th century by about 0.6°C. The global average surface temperature (the average of near surface air temperature over land, and sea surface temperature) has increased since 1861. Over the 20th century the increase has been 0.6 ± 0.2°C 5 6 (Figure 1a).
Detailed explanation-2: -The scientific community began to unite for action on climate change in the 1980s, and the warnings have only escalated since. However, these recent warnings are just the tip of the melting iceberg; people’s interest in how our activities affect the climate actually dates back thousands of years.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earth’s temperature has risen by an average of 0.14° Fahrenheit (0.08° Celsius) per decade since 1880, or about 2° F in total. The rate of warming since 1981 is more than twice as fast: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade.
