9. Global Climate Change • Climate Change • Any significant change in measures of climate lasting for an extended period (decades or longer). • Also referred to as “abrupt climate change” which includes the possibility of a “tipping point” which takes the Earth’s climate past a relatively stable state • Often used interchangeably with the term global warming. • Global warming refers to an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth’s surface, which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. However, rising temperatures are just one aspect of climate change.

10. Global Climate Change- Evidence ofHuman Contributions • Greenhouse Gasses increase – Historical measurements show that the current levels of many greenhouse gases are higher than any seen in thousands of years, even after accounting for natural fluctuations.
