What you'll learn
Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.
- 1Natural causes such as Milankovitch cycles and changes in solar output have influenced climate over very long timescales.
- 2Human causes such as burning fossil fuels for energy and deforestation have rapidly increased greenhouse gas concentrations since the industrial revolution.
- 3The enhanced greenhouse effect occurs when human activity adds extra greenhouse gases, trapping more heat than the natural process alone.
- 4Evidence for climate change includes ice cores, tree rings and rising global temperature records collected over the last 150 years.
- 5Mitigation strategies reduce emissions, such as using renewable energy, while adaptation strategies help people and places cope with existing changes.
