Scientists trying to find out what’s causing climate change work like detectives, gathering evidence to rule out some suspects and to ascertain just who is responsible.
It’s clear, based on over a century of scientific investigation, that humans are responsible for most of the climate change we’ve seen over the last 150 years. Humans are not the only suspects. The climate has changed throughout the Earth’s history, well before humans evolved. The Sun is the primary driver of the climate. Roughly speaking, global temperatures rise when more energy from the Sun enters the atmosphere than returns to space through the atmosphere. The climate cools any time more energy returns to space than comes in from the Sun. Carbon dioxide is rising because of human actions: Scientists can measure the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 150 years.
In the 1950s, scientists began methodically measuring global increases in carbon dioxide. Global Warming Natural Cycle — OSS Foundation. Is global warming a natural cycle? Or is global warming affected by human influence? What does the science say? Both are true. In the natural cycle, the world can warm, and cool, without any human interference. The difference is that in the natural cycle CO2 lags behind the warming because it is mainly due to the Milankovitch cycles. Where are we currently in the natural cycle (Milankovitch cycle)? The natural cycle is understood by examining the paleo records. Natural Cycles The National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, Board on Atmospheric Science and Climate Present 'Climate Change: Lines of Evidence - Natural Cycles' The Natural Cycle - Climate Minute Rapid Climate Change In The Natural Cycle 9,000 Years 12,000 Years The Holocene temperatures peaked around 8,000 years ago.
Recent significant changes in climate forcing due to human cause factors have produced a net positive forcing causing temperatures to rise. 150 Thousand Years 450 Thousand Years 5 Million Years Solar Cycles. Changing Planet Holiday Lectures. Global Climate Change: Research Explorer. The earth’s climate has warmed and cooled for millions of years, since long before we appeared on the scene.
There’s no doubt that the climate is growing warmer currently; indications of that change are all around us. Though climate change isn’t new, the study of how human activity affects the earth’s climate is. The exploration of climate change encompasses many fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and even sociology. At this Web site, you can explore scientific data relating to the atmosphere, the oceans, the areas covered by ice and snow, and the living organisms in all these domains.
