Actions taken to adjust to natural events (such as climate change) to reduce long term damage, limit the impacts, take advantage of the opportunities, or cope with the consequences.
Adaptation
1 of 8
A long-term change to the earths climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature.
Climate Change
2 of 8
Changes in the pathway of the earth around the sun.
Orbital Changes
3 of 8
The period of geological time from about 2.6 million years ago to the present. Characterized by the development of humans and includes the. Pleistocene and Holocene Epochs.
Quaternary Period
4 of 8
Dark patches on the surface of the sun. They increase from a minimum to a maximum and back over a period of 11 years.
Sunspots
5 of 8
The atmosphere allows most of the suns short wave radiation to pass through it. However when the earth gives off this heat in the form of long wave radiation, CO2 and methane are able to absorb it.
Greenhouse Effect
6 of 8
Uses technology to capture CO2 produced from burning fossil fuels. Once captured, the carbon gas is then compressed and injected back into the earth.
Carbon Capture
7 of 8
Actions taken to reduce the long-term risk from natural hazards (e.g earthquake-proof buildings or international agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions).
