  2. Cloud feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_feedback

    If climate change causes low-level cloud cover to become more widespread, then these clouds will increase planetary albedo and contribute to cooling, making the overall cloud feedback negative (one that slows down the warming). But if clouds become higher and thinner due to climate change, then the net cloud feedback will be positive and ...

  3. Cloud formation and climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_formation_and...

    The overall impact of clouds on global climate depends on factors such as cloud type, altitude, thickness, and the amount of water or ice they contain. Thin, high-altitude cirrus clouds tend to have a net warming effect, since they allow incoming solar radiation to pass through while trapping heat radiating from the Earth's surface.

  4. Cirrus cloud thinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_cloud_thinning

    This could be a potential tool to reduce global warming. [2] Cirrus cloud thinning is an alternative category of climate engineering, in addition to solar radiation management. In 2021 the IPCC described CCT as a proposal "to reduce the amount of cirrus clouds by injecting ice nucleating substances in the upper troposphere." However it reported ...

  6. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    In the 1980s, the terms global warming and climate change became more common, often being used interchangeably. [29] [30] [31] Scientifically, global warming refers only to increased surface warming, while climate change describes both global warming and its effects on Earth's climate system, such as precipitation changes. [28]

  7. List of climate change initiatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_climate_change...

    This is a list of climate change initiatives of international, national, regional, and local political initiatives to take action on climate change (global warming). A Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a set of strategies intended to guide efforts for climate change mitigation. [1]

  8. Climate change mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_mitigation

    With 21% of global methane emissions, cattle are a major driver of global warming. [ 225 ] : 6 When rainforests are cut and the land is converted for grazing, the impact is even higher. In Brazil, producing 1 kg of beef can result in the emission of up to 335 kg CO 2 -eq. [ 226 ] Other livestock, manure management and rice cultivation also emit ...

  9. Solar radiation modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_modification

    Solar radiation modification (SRM) (or solar radiation management or sunlight reflection methods [1] or solar geoengineering), is a group of large-scale approaches to limit global warming by increasing the amount of sunlight (solar radiation) that is reflected away from Earth and back to space.
