  2. Illustrative model of greenhouse effect on climate change

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustrative_model_of...

    Since the upper layers are colder, the amount emitted would be lower, leading to warming of Earth until the reduction in emission is compensated by the rise in temperature. [1] Furthermore, such warming may cause a feedback mechanism due to other changes in Earth's albedo, e.g. due to ice melting.

  4. Climate change mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_mitigation

    Secondary mitigation strategies include changes to land use and removing carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere. [1] [2] Current climate change mitigation policies are insufficient as they would still result in global warming of about 2.7 °C by 2100, [3] significantly above the 2015 Paris Agreement's [4] goal of limiting global warming to ...

    English: A diagram showing how fossil fuels lead to climate change without showing complications like reflected light or a more complete picture of Earth's energy budget. This diagram is simplified view of graphics such as Earth's greenhouse effect (US EPA, 2012).png and Greenhouse Effect.svg and The-NASA-Earth's-Energy-Budget-Poster-Radiant ...

  6. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    Deforestation is the main land use change contributor to global warming, [126] as the destroyed trees release CO 2, and are not replaced by new trees, removing that carbon sink. [127] Between 2001 and 2018, 27% of deforestation was from permanent clearing to enable agricultural expansion for crops and livestock.

  7. Fireman's pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireman's_pole

    A fireman's pole (also called a firefighter's pole, sliding pole or a fire pole) is a pole that firefighters slide down to quickly reach the ground floor of a fire station. This allows them to respond to an emergency call faster, as they arrive at the fire engine faster than by using a standard staircase.

  8. Climate stabilization wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_stabilization_wedge

    The approach presents global warming as a problem which can be attacked using commercially available technologies to reduce CO 2 emissions. Selecting a set of mitigation strategies to create a stabilization triangle is a planning framework for identifying possible interventions for the reduction of emissions.

  9. Firefighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefighting

    Firefighters douse a burning building in Massueville, Canada. Firefighting is a profession aimed at controlling and extinguishing fire. [1] A person who engages in firefighting is known as a firefighter or fireman. [2] Firefighters typically undergo a high degree of technical training. [2] [3] This involves structural firefighting and wildland ...
