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.

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
