While the main focus has been on operational activities in Antarctica, global warming caused by fossil-fuel burning by these (and other) countries has left Antarctica on the brink of irreversible change. For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface.

This post is an introduction to methane in climate change: where it comes from, how it’s different from CO 2 , how those differences matter, and what that all means for controls. In the early days of the climate issue, when discussions were mainly scientific, normal practice was to measure CO 2. W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.

Today, it overlaps with many other sciences and has had a profound impact on the environmental sciences just as chemistry has. It also underpins the physical sciences by providing the theoretical framework on which it may base its own assumptions and basic theoretical models. How Physics Applies to Environmental Science.

There may also be an extreme variation between warm and cool seasons, including extreme winds and storms due to the mixing of cold and warm air. Surface albedo is high - heat acquired during the day is radiated at night. Climate change presents a risk of desertification of present marginal landscapes. Sponsored Content.
