2. Solar activity and climate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

   The finding that solar activity was approximately the same in cycles 14 and 24 applies to all solar outputs that have, in the past, been proposed as a potential cause of terrestrial climate change and includes total solar irradiance, cosmic ray fluxes, spectral UV irradiance, solar wind speed and/or density, heliospheric magnetic field and its ...

3. Earth's energy budget - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_energy_budget

   Because of climate system inertia, longer-term EEI (Earth's energy imbalance) trends can forecast further changes that are "in the pipeline". [36] [58] [59] Scientists found that the EEI is the most important metric related to climate change. It is the net result of all the processes and feedbacks in play in the climate system. [1]

4. Solar System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System

   The Solar System remains in a relatively stable, slowly evolving state by following isolated, gravitationally bound orbits around the Sun. [28] Although the Solar System has been fairly stable for billions of years, it is technically chaotic, and may eventually be disrupted. There is a small chance that another star will pass through the Solar ...

5. Earth science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_science

   Climatology studies the climate and climate change. [14] The troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere are the five layers which make up Earth's atmosphere. 75% of the mass in the atmosphere is located within the troposphere, the lowest layer.

6. Climate variability and change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_variability_and_change

   Climate variability is the term to describe variations in the mean state and other characteristics of climate (such as chances or possibility of extreme weather, etc.) "on all spatial and temporal scales beyond that of individual weather events."

7. Climate change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

   A related phenomenon driven by climate change is woody plant encroachment, affecting up to 500 million hectares globally. [218] Climate change has contributed to the expansion of drier climate zones, such as the expansion of deserts in the subtropics. [219] The size and speed of global warming is making abrupt changes in ecosystems more likely ...
