May 27, 2015 · For example, fossil fuel burning is clearly at the heart of anthropogenic climate change and it is also the pivotal issue for air quality. So, solutions to climate change are intimately connected with air quality issues (A few papers in this volume cover such issues, e.g., Ariya et al., Zhang et al., Von Schneidemesser et al., and Pusede et al.).

Figure 2. Cause and effects of global warming & climate change. Humans have been burning fossil fuels at an increasing rate since the 1850s. 4. Burning fossil fuels releases CO 2 into the atmosphere; levels of atmospheric CO 2 are higher than they have been in modern history and continue to increase. 5,6. CO 2 and other greenhouse gases in the ...
Oct 6, 2008 · The physical science assessment focuses on four topics: drivers of climate change, changes observed in the climate system, understanding cause-and-effect relationships, and projection of future ...
Earth’s climate is undergoing substantial change due to anthropogenic activities (Ch. 1: Our Globally Changing Climate). Understand-ing the causes of past and present climate change and confidence in future projected changes depend directly on our ability to understand and model the physical drivers of climate change.1 Our understanding is

Nov 23, 2022 · The modelling of BVOC chemistry strongly affects how doubling of BVOC emissions affects climate. Lower oxidant depletion with state-of-science chemistry leads to 43% smaller positive forcing from ...
Understanding the causes of past and present climate change and confidence in future projected changes depend directly on our ability to understand and model the physical drivers of climate change. 1 Our understanding is challenged by the complexity and interconnectedness of the components of the climate system (that is, the atmosphere, land ...
Apr 14, 2015 · Chemistry, a field focused on the molecular scale, provides important contributions in understanding global-scale phenomena, including climate and climate change. This editorial focuses on chemistry’s contributions to our understanding of atmospheric science and climate from both research and chemical education perspectives.
