... Many studies have reported that the GHGES and the GCM are the main sources of climatic uncertainty [e.g. 27,28,29] which represent an imperfect climate processes e.g. runoff and evapotranspiration processes [9] and topography [27] in large parts due to computational limitations. Main sources of unce ...

Greenhouse Gases: The Climate Change Culprit
... The root of climate change is in our warming planet. According to the EPA, the average air temperature for Earth has risen 1.4°F in the past 100 years. Many people hear that and think it’s not much of a problem, forgetting that averages are determined by adding highs and lows and dividing those over ...
