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?
