Solar Radiation
The energy emitted from the sun that influences Earth's temperature.
Milankovitch Cycles
Long-term changes in Earth's orbit and tilt that affect climate; includes eccentricity, obliquity, and precession.
Eccentricity
The shape of Earth's orbit around the sun, changing every 95,000 years.
Obliquity
The tilt of Earth’s axis, changing every 42,000 years.
Precession
The wobble of Earth's axis, occurring every 21,000 years.
Greenhouse Effect
The process by which gases trap heat in the atmosphere.
CH4
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas produced by agriculture and livestock.
CO2
Carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels.
Thermal Expansion
The phenomenon of warmer oceans causing sea levels to rise.
Coral Bleaching
A process where stressed corals expel algae, causing them to turn white and potentially die.
Ocean Acidification
The decrease in pH of the ocean due to increased CO2 absorption, affecting marine life.
Kyoto Protocol
An international agreement signed in 1997 aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally.
Copenhagen Accord
A 2009 agreement where 111 countries set new targets for emission reductions.
Paris Agreement
A 2015 treaty where all countries pledged to reduce emissions to limit global temperature rise.
Carbon Tax
A tax imposed on products based on their carbon content to encourage reduced emissions.
Cap and Trade
An environmental policy that sets limits on emissions and allows companies to trade emission credits.
Federal Policies
Government measures, such as tax credits, aimed at reducing climate impact.
Carbon Capture
Technological methods for capturing and storing carbon emissions to prevent them from entering the atmosphere.
