Definition

  • Long-term changes in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases—notably carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide—due to human activities has altered the radiative forcing of the atmosphere and its energy balance. The physical impacts of these disruptions, known collectively as climate change, are varied but present across the globe. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Symptoms and Effects of Climate Change]
