What is Climate Change?

Climate change refers to long-term changes in Earth's climate, including both global warming and its wider effects, such as changes in rainfall patterns.
Global warming is the ongoing increase in global average surface temperature.
Climate change can also include natural changes that have happened throughout Earth's history, not just those caused by humans.
Anthropogenic climate change is the term used for climate change caused by human activities.

Evidence for Climate Change

Ice cores and tree rings are natural records (climate proxies) that provide evidence of past climates.
Thermometer records began around 1850 and provide direct measurements of global temperature.
The Last Interglacial, around 125,000 years ago, was 0.5–1.5 °C warmer than before global warming began, with sea levels 5–10 metres higher.
The most recent glacial maximum, 20,000 years ago, was 5–7 °C colder, with sea levels over 125 metres lower than today.
The current interglacial period began 11,700 years ago, when temperatures stabilised and agriculture started.
Historical periods like the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age did not occur at the same time across all regions.

Natural Causes of Climate Change

Over the last few million years, Earth's climate has naturally cycled through ice ages.
Natural factors, such as changes in Earth's orbit, volcanic activity, and variations in solar output, can cause climate to change.
Past climate changes, like the ice ages, were caused by natural processes, not human activities.

The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect

Greenhouse gases absorb heat that Earth radiates after warming from sunlight, warming the lower atmosphere.
Human activities, especially burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) since the Industrial Revolution, have increased greenhouse gas concentrations.
Deforestation and some agricultural and industrial practices also release greenhouse gases.
The atmosphere now has roughly 50% more carbon dioxide than at the end of the pre-industrial era, reaching levels not seen for millions of years.
This human-driven increase in greenhouse gases is known as the enhanced greenhouse effect.

Impacts on the Environment

Heat waves and wildfires are becoming more common.
The Arctic is warming faster than other regions, leading to thawing permafrost, retreat of glaciers, and decline in sea ice.
Higher temperatures are causing more intense storms, droughts, and other weather extremes.
Rapid environmental change in mountains, coral reefs, and the Arctic is forcing many species to relocate or become extinct.
Even if warming is limited, some effects will continue for centuries, including ocean heating, ocean acidification, and sea level rise.

Impacts on People

Climate change threatens people with increased flooding, extreme heat, food and water scarcity, more disease, and economic loss.
Human migration and conflict can also result from climate change impacts.
The World Health Organization calls climate change one of the biggest threats to global health in the 21st century.
Poorer communities are responsible for a small share of global emissions but are the most vulnerable and have the least ability to adapt.

Mitigation

Mitigation means reducing the causes of climate change, mainly by cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Fossil fuels can be phased out by ending subsidies, conserving energy, and switching to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear power.
Cleanly generated electricity can replace fossil fuels for transport, heating, and industry.
Carbon can be removed from the atmosphere by increasing forest cover and using farming methods that store carbon in soil (carbon capture).
International agreements, such as the 2015 Paris Agreement, aim to keep warming well under 2 °C, though current pledges would still lead to about 2.8 °C by 2100.

Adaptation

Adaptation means adjusting to the effects of climate change to reduce risks.
Examples include flood control measures and drought-resistant crops.
Adaptation can partially reduce climate change risks, but some limits to adaptation have already been reached.
Poorer communities often have the least ability to adapt and are most vulnerable.

Key Terminology

Global warming refers only to the increase in global average surface temperature.
Climate change describes both global warming and its effects on Earth's climate system, such as changes in precipitation.
Anthropogenic climate change is climate change caused by human activities.
Terms like climate crisis or climate emergency are sometimes used to emphasise the urgency of climate change.

What is the difference between global warming and climate change?

Global warming refers only to the increase in global average surface temperature. Climate change describes both global warming and its wider effects on Earth's climate system, such as changes in precipitation.

What is the main human activity driving present-day global warming?

The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) since the Industrial Revolution.

Name three human activities that release greenhouse gases.

Fossil fuel burning, deforestation, and some agricultural and industrial practices.

How do greenhouse gases cause warming?

They absorb some of the heat that Earth radiates after it warms from sunlight, warming the lower atmosphere.

How much more carbon dioxide does Earth's atmosphere have now compared to the end of the pre-industrial era?

Roughly 50% more carbon dioxide, reaching levels not seen for millions of years.

What is the enhanced greenhouse effect?

The extra warming caused by human activities adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, on top of the natural greenhouse effect.

Name three pieces of evidence scientists use to study past climate change.

Ice cores, tree rings, and temperature records (thermometer records).

What were temperatures like during the Last Interglacial around 125,000 years ago?

Temperatures were between 0.5 °C and 1.5 °C warmer than before the start of global warming, and sea levels were 5 to 10 metres higher than today.

How much colder was the most recent glacial maximum 20,000 years ago?

It was about 5–7 °C colder, with sea levels over 125 metres lower than today.

When did the current interglacial period begin?

About 11,700 years ago, when temperatures stabilised and agriculture started.

What was the global temperature in 2024 compared to pre-industrial times?

2024 was the warmest year on record at +1.60 °C since regular tracking began in 1850.

What are three effects of climate change on the environment?

More common heat waves and wildfires; thawing permafrost, retreating glaciers and sea ice decline; more intense storms, droughts and other weather extremes.

What is ocean acidification?

A continuing effect of climate change where the ocean becomes more acidic, even if warming is limited.

Name three threats that climate change poses to people.

Increased flooding, extreme heat, and increased food and water scarcity (also more disease and economic loss).

Why are poorer communities more vulnerable to climate change?

They are responsible for a small share of global emissions but have the least ability to adapt, so they are most vulnerable.

What is the Paris Agreement?

A 2015 international agreement where nations agreed to keep global warming well under 2 °C.

What is mitigation in the context of climate change?

Actions that reduce or prevent the release of greenhouse gases, such as using renewable energy or carbon capture.

Name three renewable energy sources that can replace fossil fuels.

Wind, solar, and hydro power (also nuclear power).

What is carbon capture?

Removing carbon from the atmosphere, for example by increasing forest cover or farming in ways that store carbon in soil.

What is adaptation to climate change?

Adjusting to reduce the risks from climate change, such as building flood defences or growing drought-resistant crops.

What is a tipping point in the climate system?

A threshold that, once crossed, leads to large and possibly irreversible changes, such as the melting of the entire Greenland ice sheet.

What is the term 'anthropogenic climate change'?

Climate change that results from human activities.

What does 'inadvertent climate modification' mean?

A term used before the 1980s to describe human impacts on the climate, when it was unclear whether warming from greenhouse gases was stronger than cooling from air pollution.

What is the difference between the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age?

They were historical patterns of warming and cooling that did not occur at the same time across different regions.
