Understanding Climate Science

By John M Saragunter

You might not be aware of it but you are affected by climate science each day. It tells us if the day will be hot or if we can expect rain. Climate scientists study the world's weather patterns but they do more than that.

They are the ones helping to monitor global temperatures to see if there is any evidence or proof of global warming. The divisions in which climate scientists cover are many, some studying climatic changes thousands of years ago and some trying to foresee the future of our environment.

Evidence of global warming is currently debated. If it were not for climate science, there would not be any information to make informed decisions on. Unfortunately there seems to be disagreement as to the effects of global warming and even climate science can not provide concrete evidence of cause or effect at this point in time.

Scientists and researchers have factual evidence of a rise in temperatures but the global warming debate is fueled by not knowing the extent mankind has on weather patterns.

Indisputable Key Facts

There are a few key facts that are indisputable. Climate science has shown that the average temperature of near-surface air and ocean temperatures has risen in the past one hundred years.

We know that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases help create a blanket affect of the atmosphere. This blanket of gases prevents solar radiation from exiting the atmosphere.

Climate Science Studies The Effects Of Greenhouse Gases

Climate science does not have all the answers to the global warming debate. It does, however, study the effects of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is naturally occurring and is a byproduct of animals, including humans as well as by burning fossil fuels.

The more information that is discovered through researching the past and present climate, the more climate science studies will be able to formulate the impact global warming has, if any, on mankind and continually shifting weather patterns. It is not an exact science but the more studies that are conducted, the better overall information we will be able to ascertain.

We can stay informed of the progress climate science is making. We must have a voice in the global warming debate if we are to have a healthy environment and a home for our grandchildren and their children. Knowledge is our ally and by reading the latest news we can keep informed and monitor the decisions of our chosen politicians.

Little Known Global Warming Facts.....

What does the ozone layer have to do with global warming?
The ozone layer protects the Earth from the Sun’s harsh rays. It filters ultraviolet particles and provides as an insulator. You can think of it in terms of a big blanket. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions begin accumulating in the atmosphere, trapping heat in rather than letting it out
