Type: article
Abstract: use climate change and global warming interchangeably, although the former technically connotes all forms of climatic variability introduced by the general warming of the Earth's surface and oceans stemming from the increased accumulation of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.The increased concentration of such gases strengthens the natural "greenhouse effect," whereby the atmosphere absorbs the sun's radiation rather than allowing it to escape into space.See
