I really loved how this class gave us the facts about climate change without bias. It explained us the current situation and what we need to do to help prevent further global warming and save our planet! #Lesson12
"It is virtually certain that there will be more frequent hot & fewer cold temperature extremes over most land areas on daily seasonal timescales, as global mean surface temperature increases. It is very likely that heat waves will occur with a higher frequency & longer duration"
Changes in extreme weather and climate event linked to human influences:
oAn decrease in cold temperature extremes
oAn increase in warm temperature extremes
oAn increase in extreme high sea level
oAn increase in the number of heavy precipitation events in a number of regions
CO2 emissions from fossil fuels have increased drastically over the past 50 years and CO2 levels are at their highest in the last 400,000 years #lesson11
Weather refers to the conditions in the atmosphere at a given place and time. Climate refers to the typical patterns of weather that occur in a place over a period of years #lesson11
