   An Inconvenient Truth: a film that showcases Al Gore's presentation on global warming, arguing that humans are the cause of climate change. The 11th Hour: a 2007 documentary film, created, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, on the state of the natural environment.

3. 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]

4. Causes of climate change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_climate_change

   This has led to increases in mean global temperature, or global warming. The likely range of human-induced surface-level air warming by 2010–2019 compared to levels in 1850–1900 is 0.8 °C to 1.3 °C, with a best estimate of 1.07 °C. This is close to the observed overall warming during that time of 0.9 °C to 1.2 °C.

   Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

7. Reasons for concern - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasons_for_concern

   The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has organized many of the risks of climate change into five "reasons for concern." [1] [2] The reasons for concern show that these risks increase with increases in the Earth's global mean temperature (i.e., global warming).

8. 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.

9. Effects of climate change on human health - Wikipedia

   Climate change is altering the geographic range and seasonality of some insects that can carry diseases, for example Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is the vector for dengue transmission. Global climate change has increased the occurrence of some infectious diseases. Infectious diseases whose transmission is impacted by climate change include, for example, vector-borne diseases like dengue ...
