- Links between the water and carbon cycles
- Increasing atmospheric carbon storage
- Natural: Milankovitch orbital variarion
- 10 of the past 13 years were warmest on record
- In 2015, the Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) reached a record high of 0.87'C
- Technological advances led to increased consumption of natural resources
- Deforestation, population growth, economic development, industry, manufacturing and methane emissions from livestock
- Since 1750 Europe's industrial revolution
- CO2 emissions went from 280ppm to 406ppm in 2017
- Releases more GHG trapping radiation, warming the earth
- Increasing carbon emissions and the energy budget
- The energy budget is changing as more heat is being retained resulting warmer, more energetic blankets
- Earth's climate is driven by incoming shortwave solar radiation
- The natural process of trapping long wave radiation, supports life on earth (natural green house effect)
- Without this the world would have been to cold to sustain life on earth
- 30% is reflected by the atmosphere and the land surface
- 70% absorbed by Earth's surface
- Energy is released as long wave radiation
- The natural process of trapping long wave radiation, supports life on earth (natural green house effect)
- Water and carbon (local scale)
- Impacts of rising GHG emissions on the water cycle
- Ocean acidification
- Changes to weather patterns
- River discharge
- Sea level rise
- Increasing atmospheric carbon storage
