- global warming and climate change
- upsetting the greenhouse effect has led to global warming
- global temperatures have rose since we have started burning fossil fuels
- scientific consensus that humans cause global warming
- global warming is a type of climate change
- climate change causes changing weather patterns
- computer models are used to understand climate change
- conditions of the atmosphere, oceans and on land all affect eachother
- climate models are equations that can be used to mimic the real climate
- data is needed for computer odes such as the ocean's surface temperature in different places
- the speed and direction of the ocean currents can be worked out from this data
- the speed and direction of the currents can be used to work out air temperatures around the world
- earth's climate varies naturally
- climate models can explain why the climate is changing now
- consequences of global warming could be serious
- as the sea gets warmer it expand which makes the sea level rise
- places on low lying land will be flooded if sea levels rise
- high temperatures makes ice melt
- changing climate can affect food production
- storms and floods can be caused
