The gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth’s surface is called Global dimming. It is believed that it has been caused by the...
The Carbon Footprint is a comprehensive measure of the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs)—primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and fluorinated gases—emitted directly and...
Climate models generally predict amplified warming in Polar Regions due to climate feedbacks. This is called Polar amplification. This can be understood by the fact that due to...
Climate change refers to significant and lasting alterations in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses changes in...
Many planetary bodies show the Green House Effect. In our solar System, Mars and Venus show the Green House Effect, but Titan, the largest planet of Saturn and...
In the Green House Effect, the thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated. Due to this, the temperature of the...
Greenhouse gases are gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted...
Acid Rain Program came into being after the 1990 Clean Air Act, which is a United States federal law enacted by the United States Congress to control air...
