Describe the differences between
weather and climate.
How do we know that global climate
has been relatively stable over
the past 8000 years?
Why is the historical record of
climate change alarming to some scientists?
Why is a rise of global
temperature of just 1 deg. C so important?
Why is the evidence for recent
rapid climate change no longer in any doubt?
How did/do scientists determine that the increase in
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans comes mostly from the burning of
fossil fuels?
How much of the additional heat added to the EarthÕs
climate system is locked up in the oceans?
Why is the incoming tide a good
analogy for recent climate change?
