Global Warming

Definition of Global Warming as it relates to Science, Environmental Science

Global Warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. This phenomenon is closely tied to the field of Environmental Science, which studies the relationships between living organisms, the physical environment, and the impacts of human activity on these systems. The study of Global Warming within Environmental Science encompasses a broad range of topics including climate change, atmospheric chemistry, ocean acidification, and the effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. Understanding Global Warming is crucial to making informed decisions about energy policy, conservation efforts, and other actions needed to mitigate its impacts on the planet and its inhabitants.
