Human Impacts on the Atmosphere: Global Climate Change

Learning Outcomes To be able to explain the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect To be able to explain what is meant by the term 'Global Climate Change'. To know the feedback mechanisms that could accelerate or decelerate climate change. To be able to explain the consequences of Global Climate Change (wind and rainfall patterns; Ocean Currents e.g. Gulf Stream (NAD) and El Nino.

(ii) Enhanced greenhouse effect? Overview Cause? GHG’s Source / Effect (i) Greenhouse effect? Explain with diagram (ii) Enhanced greenhouse effect? (iv) Problems Predicting? Global Climate Change -Cause? -Wind -Precipitation -Ocean Currents Thermal Expansion -How much Land ice melt! (v) Feedback Loops? 1. SL Rise Il Nino / Nina NAD! (iii) Consequences 2. Change in Climate 3. Ecological Change Positive Negative
