Health impact of climate change due to combustion of fossil fuel
... Energy from the sun drives the earth’s climate. As the sun’s energy reaches the earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back and some of it is absorbed by the earth’s surface. The absorbed energy warms the earth. This heat is then re-radiated back towards space as terrestrial radiation. Certain gas ...

What is Climate Change?

But when scientists talk about abrupt climate change, they mean climate change that occurs over decades, rather than centuries. It’s too soon to know for certain whether abrupt climate change could occur, but if it does ...
