[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] Climate change can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history. [32]

There is widespread agreement among researchers, health professionals and organizations that climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. [ 162 ] [ 163 ] Rising temperatures and changes in weather patterns are increasing the severity of heat waves , extreme weather and other causes of illness, injury or death.
Projected global surface temperature changes relative to 1850–1900, based on CMIP6 multi-model mean changes. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report defines global mean surface temperature (GMST) as the "estimated global average of near-surface air temperatures over land and sea ice, and sea surface temperature (SST) over ice-free ocean regions, with changes normally expressed as departures from a ...
The world is on track for a “catastrophic” 3.1 degrees Celsius (5.6 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming over preindustrial levels, according to the United Nations.. The international ...
World leaders are meeting in Paris this month in what amounts to a last-ditch effort to avert the worst ravages of climate change. Climatologists now say that the best case scenario — assuming immediate and dramatic emissions curbs — is that planetary surface temperatures will increase by at least 2 degrees Celsius in the coming decades.
