(usually periods >30 years)

3. climate change change in the statistical properties of the climate system
when considered over periods of decades

aka global warming

4. for how many 150 years
years do we
have observa-
tional history
of temperature
change?

5. how much 1.1 C
has the earth
warmed since
1860, according
to satellite ther-
mometers?

6. how has the land has warmed more than ocean; northern hemisphere
warming that has warmed more than tropics or southern hemisphere
occurred in the

been distributed
across the plan-

8. what are two 1 = ice on the planet is disappearing
pieces of indirect 2 = the oceans are warming
evidence that our
planet is warm-
ing?

9. % of heat 93%
trapped by GHG
that goes into
heating the
oceans

10. what are the two 1 = melting of grounded ice
causes of rising 2 = water expands when it warms
sea levels?

11. five ways to 1 = tree rings
extract cli- 2 = corals
mate information 3 = speleothems
pre-modern mea- 4 = ice cores
surements 5 = ocean sediment cores

12. tree rings reveal climate variations in regions where trees grow and
experience seasons for the last millennium

13. corals analysis of skeletons can yield climate conditions in
ocean over millions of years

14. speleothems cave structures can yield estimates of climate in nearby
region over past few 100,000 years

15. ice cores measuring chemical composition of ice (mainly in Green-
land and Antarctica) yields estimates of the climate over
the past 1M years

16. ocean sediment analyzing composition of mud at the bottom of the ocean
cores provides information about the climate covering 10M+
years

18. what are the pe- ice ages and interglacials
riods of cold and
warmer called
that the planet
cycles through?

19. when did the last 10,000 years ago
ice age end?

20. holocene current interglaciation period, extending from 10,000

the holocene
peak?

al average tem-
perature differ-
ence between an
ice age and an in-

age?

24. what is the sun / visible radiation
source of the
earth's climate?

25. how much en- 340 W/m^2
ergy does the
sun provide and 30% reflected back by clouds
what % of it
is reflected back
into space by
clouds?

26. what is the temperature
amount of ener-
gy radiated by as temperature increases, energy radiation increases
an object deter-
mined by and
what is the rela-
tionship?

27. most important energy reaching earth from the sun must be equal to the
rule of the earth's energy the earth radiates back to space
climate
this determines the temperature of the climate system

28. greenhouse gas- gases in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation
es (heat) and reduce the power of the earth to return energy
to space

29. greenhouse ef- as the mass of GHG in our atmosphere increases, more
fect heat is trapped, which leads to higher temperatures

30. list some nitrogen, oxygen, inert gas argon
non-problematic
