Climate Change
Climate change refers to the increase in average temperature in the atmosphere and ocean. The rise in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases due to human activities such as burning fuel, deforestation, and farming drives changes in climatic patterns. The greenhouse effect is when the Sun’s heat is absorbed by greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere and directed back to the Earth’s surface to increase heat. Too much greenhouse gas in the atmosphere traps the Sun’s heat and radiates it back to the surface. It causes the Earth to warm up above the average and is described as global warming.
This A-Level Climate Change module will enable students to:
- Analyse possible causes of climate change.
- Understand factors contributing to climate change.
- Review evidence of natural and human factors.
- Understand how much climate change has affected people.
- Determine the change in climate over the past thousand years.
- Describe the different approaches to climate change.
- Recognise climatic change in the 21st century.
