WEATHER and CLIMATE
Weather – instantaneous atmospheric conditions - temperature, rainfall, pressure, wind etc
Climate - the long-term signal derived from individual weather events.
‘Averaged out’ weather over a long period of time.
- Climate scientists normally use a period of 30 years

SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES- IPCC
Recognizing the problem of potential global climate change, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. It is open to all members of the UN and WMO.

Myth 1
Our climate has always changed, this is just another natural change and nothing to do with humans.

How much climate change has there really been?
GLOBAL TEMPERATURES have risen by about 0.7ºC between 1861 and 2003

SUN
Sunlightpasses
through the atmosphere..
..and warms the earth.
..most escapes to outer spaceand cools the earth...
Infra-red radiationis given off by the earth...
…but some IR is trapped by some gases in the air, thus reducing the cooling.
THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
![Page 23: Debunking the myths of Climate Change Helen Young Former Lead Presenter BBC Weather Centre](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681375e550346895d9eebe9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The most important greenhouse gases are:-
carbon dioxidemethanenitrous oxide hydrofluorocarbons Perfluorocarbonssulphur hexafluoride. These are the gases that are covered by the Kyoto Protocol.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are also powerful greenhouse gases but they are being progressively phased out under the Montreal Protocol as they also damage the stratospheric ozone layer.

Myth 2
Carbon dioxide is not driving our current warming.
Carbon Dioxide only makes up a small part of the atmosphere therefore it cannot be responsible for this
current Global Warming.

CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)
The most important man-made greenhouse gas
About half of the CO2 emitted by Man remains in the
atmosphere; remainder absorbed by vegetation and
oceans
CO2 risen by 1/3 since the industrial revolution
CO2 emissions would have to be reduced by about 70%
to stabilise climate change

Global-average temperature and sea level are projected to rise under all scenarios
Global-average surface temperature projected to increase by 1.4 ºC (~2.5 °F) to 5.8 ºC (~10.5 °F) by 2100 Rate of warming likely unprecedented in at least last 10,000 yrs Land areas will warm more than the global average
Global average precipitation will increase over 21st century
Very likely to be more intense precipitation events
Snow cover and sea-ice extent projected to decrease further
Glaciers and icecaps projected to continue widespread retreat

HOW QUICKLY WILL THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN FUTURE
Depends on…………
How much greenhouse gas emissions grow this depends on population growth, energy use, new
technologies, etc
How sensitive the climate system is to emissionshow clouds, ice, oceans etc respond to the extra heating;
we build a mathematical model of the earth’s climate system to calculate this

•Turn off lights when you leave a room •Only boil the amount of water you need in your kettle •Turn off televisions, videos, stereos and computers when they are not in use - they can use between 10 and 60% of the power they use when on •Don't leave fridge doors open for longer than necessary, let food cool down fully before putting in the fridge or freezer, defrost regularly and keep at the right temperature •Close curtains at dusk to keep in heat •Let your clothes dry naturally rather than using a tumble drier •Turning down the thermostat for your heating by 1 degree could cut your heating bill by 10% •Set your water thermostat for 60 degrees - this is plenty warm enough for bathing and washing and will save money too •Use economy programmes on dishwashers or washing machines •Where possible don't stand cookers and fridges/freezers next to each other

Things you could do in the future
•Put foil behind radiators fitted on external walls •Use energy saving lightbulbs - they use a quarter of the electricity and last much longer •Insulate your hot water tank and pipes •Speak to your energy provider about their 'green tariff' - they may be able to match your energy consumption with an equivalent amount of energy from renewable sources •Fit seals to externals doors, skirting boards and floor boards to reduce heat loss - 15% of heat is lost through draughts and 15% through the floor •Make your windows draught proof or fit double glazing - this cuts heat loss in half - up to 10% of heat is lost through uninsulated windows•Fit loft insulation - which should be at least 200mm thick to be most effective - 25% of heat is lost through an uninsulated roof •Fit wall insulation - up to 33% of heat is lost through uninsulated walls •Replace old inefficient boilers •Fit solar panels or solar tiles to your roof
