with advent of agricultural revolution



the agricultural revolution roughly - (ANSWERS)coincides with a warm interglacial period that began
呼吸作用是生物体维持生命的重要生理过程。通

有氧呼吸与无氧呼吸
-The climate has already warmed by 1°C since 1900.

-If humans continue with business-as-usual consumption of fossil fuels, the warming between 1900
and 2100 could exceed 4°C.



the greenhouse effect. - (ANSWERS)It is this trapping of heat energy that otherwise would have
escaped to space through the atmosphere

-allows solar radiation to enter

-the blanket effect



is the greenhouse effect real? - (ANSWERS)-Satellites routinely measure the incoming solar energy
and the outgoing heat energy from the planet

-Independently, the heat energy emitted by the surface has been estimated using observed surface
temperatures on land and sea.



aerosols - (ANSWERS)-Visible smoke and smog are made up of tiny particles

, -carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases cannot be seen by the human eye

-Most of these aerosols reflect sunlight and have a cooling effect



black carbon aerosols (a major component of soot) - (ANSWERS)-absorb solar radiation entering the
atmosphere and have a warming effect.

呼吸作用是生物体维持生命的重要生理过程。通
-warms the climate by absorbing solar energy rather than infrared energy from the planet
过呼吸作用,生物体将有机物转化为能量,以供

super pollutants - (ANSWERS)-non-carbon dioxide细胞进行各种活动。呼吸作用不仅是个体生存的

Earth is now experiencing the Anthropocene Era - (ANSWERS)-which means a time when
environmental change is driven by human activity

-One result of the Anthropocene Era is the increase in the greenhouse effect, which might be better
termed the "atmospheric blanket."



vidence that human activity is the primary cause of global warming includes - (ANSWERS)physical
and satellite observations and the confirmation of the predictions of scientific models.



How are satellites and weather balloons used with climate change model data? - (ANSWERS)to
confirm predictions



Why is global cooperation necessary to reduce the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere? - (ANSWERS)Gases travel quickly through the atmosphere to all parts of the globe.
