warming

Global warming is a trend toward warmer conditions around the world.

Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000 -year -long warming as the last ice age ended and the icemeltedaway.

However, we have already reached temperatures that are inlinewith other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural

The warming will be moredramaticin some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off.

Likewise, theimpactof this warming will be very different depending on where you are—coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable (宜居的) andappealingfor humans than these areas are now

Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend.

Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.

a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was "a methodological embarrassment" because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受傷害的) regions

Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.

How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming

But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously affected by rare weather events more often.

So large is the Pacific, covering 30% of the planet's surface, that the specific energy generated by its warming is enough to touch off a series of weather changes around the world.

The extensive data sources, combined with computer simulations, created a timeline of ocean temperature changes, including cooling from volcanic outbreaks and warming from fossil fuel emissions.

They say they're unsure whether the deep-sea warming canceled out warming at the sea's surface.

Warming waters are known to contribute to coral bleaching and they take up more space than cooler waters, raising sea levels.

Since much of this energy comes from the utilisation of fossil fuels, wastage of food potentially contributes to unnecessary global warming as well as inefficient resource utilisation.

carbon emissions are the leading cause of current global warming

Lack of rainfall resulting from global warming

That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2, which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions thought needed to reduce global warming.

Many environmental experts now believe that methane is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide.

How humans are to cope with global warming.

What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage

Co-author Céline Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France, warned: "If there're no actions aimed at haling or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human- induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays the same

Despite mournful polar bears and charts showing carbon emissions soaring, most people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally.

Many scientists believe that El nio events, caused by warming in the Pacific, are becoming more intense as a result of climate change.

Sommerkorn says a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming needs to come out of the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit in December.

The carbon that we've put into the atmosphere keeps having a warming effect for 100 years, so we have to cut back rapidly now, because it would take a long time to work its way through into a response by the atmosphere.

The more you lose, the more open water is created, the more warming goes on in that open water during the summer, the less ice forms in the winter, the more melt there is the following summer.

The study's report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the world's last great wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breeding grounds.

There wasn't any discomfort, just a mild warming sensation.

This is troubling as climbing Arctic temperatures combined with rapid sea ice loss are creating a new type of climate feedback loop, which could accelerate Arctic warming.

We can't switch off global warming just by being good in the future.

But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener.

But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend.

By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.

By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.

In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses which reflect light back to space has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region.

It leads to air pollution and global warming.

More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming.

Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.

The global warming tread cannot be stopped.

The loss of glaciers there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture.

The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.

The path to dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming.

The problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020.

Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that heat slowly during cool nights, thus warming the house.

Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.

Over the past decade, the focus has been on climate change——how the warming of the Earth from greenhouse gases is leading to conditions that worsen fires.
