• Global average temperature was 0.98°C (1.76 °F) higher in 2020 than in the late 1800s.15 • The warmest year on record since records began in 1880 was 2016, with 2020 ranking second.
Why does climate change matter? Small changes in average temperature can translate to big changes across the planet, leading to rising sea levels, more extreme weather and some areas becoming much harder to live in.
To understand climate change, it is crucial to use a scientific definition of climate, understand the difference between weather and climate, and study changes in the state of the climate that persist for an extended period. It is also important to understand how the natural factors such as latitude, altitude, reflectivity of
It will discuss the basics of climate science and the phenomenon of climate change, before elaborating on two key concepts relevant for climate change responses: mitigation and adaptation. This material will be used to better understand how these concepts are applied in an urban context.
A world-renowned expert, Sir John Houghton explores the scientific basis of global warming and the likely impacts of climate change on human society, before addressing the action that could be taken by governments, by industry and by individuals to mitigate the effects.
There are three fundamental ways to change the energy balance of the Earth: 1) by changing the incoming solar energy; 2) by changing the fraction of solar energy that is reflected; and 3) by altering the energy that returns to space from the Earth.
