The severity of effects caused by climate change will depend on the path of future human activities. More greenhouse gas emissions will lead to more climate extremes and widespread damaging effects across our planet.

What Are the Effects of Climate Change? The effects of human-caused global warming are happening now, are irreversible on the timescale of people alive today, and will worsen in the decades to come. more

Vital Signs of the Planet: Global Climate Change and Global Warming. What is the “greenhouse effect”? What is causing it? Are humans to blame? What does solar irradiance have to do with it? Answers here.

Vital Signs of the Planet: Global Climate Change and Global Warming. How do we know it’s happening? Here’s the evidence.

A look at some of the likely future effects of climate change, including U.S. regional effects. Vital Signs. Graphs and animated time series showing real-time climate change data, including atmospheric carbon dioxide, global temperature, sea ice …

2021年11月2日 · Using advanced climate and agricultural models, scientists found that the change in yields is due to projected increases in temperature, shifts in rainfall patterns, and elevated surface carbon dioxide concentrations from human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

2023年8月14日 · Analysis by the NASA Earth Exchange of high-resolution climate projections concludes that, if global temperatures keep rising and reach 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels, people worldwide could face multiple impacts of climate …

2023年9月21日 · Responding to climate change involves two possible approaches: reducing and stabilizing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (“mitigation”) and adapting to the climate change already in the pipeline (“adaptation”).

2013年1月21日 · A new report issued by the National Research Council (NRC), "The Effects of Solar Variability on Earth's Climate," lays out some of the surprisingly complex ways that solar activity can make itself felt on our planet.

Even in the far north and in a wet climate, Norway’s Ålfotbreen glacier is rapidly shrinking. Both images were taken during summers where significant melting occurred. This glacier grew as recently as the 1990s, but has been getting smaller since …
