DEFINITION / CONCEPT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING:
Climate Change: This is the global phenomenon of climatic transformation characterized by the
changes in the usual climate of the planet (regarding temperature, precipitation, and wind) that
are especially caused by human activities( By youmatter.world )
Global Warming: This is a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature generally due to the
greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants (By byju ).
,TERMINOLOGIES OF CLIMATE CHANGE :
, . Adaptive Capacity:
The ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to
moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the
consequences.
. Aerosols:
Small particles or liquid droplets in the atmosphere that can absorb or reflect sunlight depending
on their composition.
. Black Carbon Aerosol:
Black carbon (BC) is the most strongly light-absorbing component of particulate matter (PM), and is
formed by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass. It is emitted directly into
the atmosphere in the form of fine particles (PM2.5).
.Biomass:
Materials that are biological in origin, including organic material (both living and dead) from above
and below ground, for example, trees, crops, grasses, tree litter, roots, and animals and animal waste.
. Carbon Dioxide:
A naturally occurring gas, and also a by-product of burning fossil fuels and biomass, as well as land-
use changes and other industrial processes. It is the principal human caused greenhouse gas that affects
the Earth’s radiative balance. It is the reference gas against which other greenhouse gases are
measured
. Carbon Dioxide Fertilization:
The enhancement of the growth of plants as a result of increased atmospheric CO2 concentration.
Depending on their mechanism of photosynthesis, certain types of plants are more sensitive to
changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration.
. Cryosphere:
