 Climate change is happening
Our Earth is warming. Small
changes in the average temperature of the planet can
translate to large and potentially dangerous shifts in
climate and weather.

 Overview of
climate change science
Earth's climate is changing. Multiple lines of evidence show
changes in our weather, oceans, ecosystems, and more.
Natural causes alone cannot explain all of these changes.
Human activities are contributing to climate change,
primarily by releasing billions of tons of carbon dioxide
(CO2) and other heat-trapping gases, known as greenhouse
gases, into the atmosphere every year.

by weather and climate events over the past 30 years that

states such as Florida is hurricanes, while interior and

large storms are likely to become more frequent or more
intense with human-induced climate change. This chapter

storms, floods, and droughts.

Change Indicators: Snow and Ice
The Earth’s surface contains many forms of snow and ice,

ice caps, and ice sheets; and frozen ground. Climate change
can dramatically alter the Earth’s snow- and ice-covered
areas because snow and ice can easily change between solid
and liquid states in response to relatively minor changes in
temperature. This chapter focuses on trends in snow,
glaciers, and the freezing and thawing of oceans and lakes.
