Global warming
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from pre-industrial times to 1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward. These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science,[B] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.
Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature will probably rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century. The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions. Some other uncertainties include how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most studies focus on the period up to the year 2100. However, warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop, because of the large heat capacity of the oceans and the long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts. The continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice is expected, with warming being strongest in the Arctic. Other likely effects include increases in the intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields.
Political and public debate continues regarding climate change, and what actions (if any) to take in response. The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions; adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming; and, more speculatively, geoengineering to reverse global warming. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The most commonly discussed measure of global warming is the trend in globally averaged temperature near the Earth’s surface. Expressed as a linear trend, this temperature rose by 0.74°C ±0.18°C over the period 1906–2005. The rate of warming over the last half of that period was almost double that for the period as a whole (0.13°C ±0.03°C per decade, versus 0.07°C ± 0.02°C per decade). The urban heat island effect is estimated to account for about 0.002 °C of warming per decade since 1900. Temperatures in the lower troposphere have increased between 0.12 and 0.22 °C (0.22 and 0.4 °F) per decade since 1979, according to satellite temperature measurements. Temperature is believed to have been relatively stable over the one or two thousand years before 1850, with regionally-varying fluctuations such as the Medieval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age.
Based on estimates by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, 2005 was the warmest year since reliable, widespread instrumental measurements became available in the late 1800s, exceeding the previous record set in 1998 by a few hundredths of a degree. Estimates prepared by the World Meteorological Organization and the Climatic Research Unit concluded that 2005 was the second warmest year, behind 1998. Temperatures in 1998 were unusually warm because the strongest El Niño in the past century occurred during that year. Global temperature is subject to short-term fluctuations that overlay long term trends and can temporarily mask them. The relative stability in temperature from 1999 to 2009 is consistent with such an episode.
Temperature changes vary over the globe. Since 1979, land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as ocean temperatures (0.25 °C per decade against 0.13 °C per decade). Ocean temperatures increase more slowly than land temperatures because of the larger effective heat capacity of the oceans and because the ocean loses more heat by evaporation. The Northern Hemisphere warms faster than the Southern Hemisphere because it has more land and because it has extensive areas of seasonal snow and sea-ice cover subject to ice-albedo feedback. Although more greenhouse gases are emitted in the Northern than Southern Hemisphere this does not contribute to the difference in warming because the major greenhouse gases persist long enough to mix between hemispheres.
The thermal inertia of the oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that climate can take centuries or longer to adjust to changes in forcing. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur.
External forcing is a term used in climate science for processes external to the climate system (though not necessarily external to Earth). Climate responds to several types of external forcing, such as changes in greenhouse gas concentrations, changes in solar luminosity, volcanic eruptions, and variations in Earth’s orbit around the Sun.Attribution of recent climate change focuses on the first three types of forcing. Orbital cycles vary slowly over tens of thousands of years and thus are too gradual to have caused the temperature changes observed in the past century.
The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the atmosphere warm a planet’s lower atmosphere and surface. It was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896.Existence of the greenhouse effect as such is not disputed, even by those who do not agree that the recent temperature increase is attributable to human activity. The question is instead how the strength of the greenhouse effect changes when human activity increases the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The broad agreement among climate scientists that global temperatures will continue to increase has led some nations, states, corporations and individuals to implement responses. These responses to global warming can be divided into mitigation of the causes and effects of global warming, adaptation to the changing global environment, and geoengineering to reverse global warming.

Oh rapture yes. This is the only reason I was born. To find you, my long lost blogging soul-mate.
Just running in to let you know you have a brand new fan! Reading one post on your website got me enamored immediately. Really, you are awesome!
Thanks for the entry. I just about passed your we site up in Ask but now I’m glad I stopped by and got to read through it. I’m definitely more informed now. I know quite a few people that will want to check it out. They’ll get a kick out of what I just read too. LOL. –Christian

First off, do you mean 1,000 mi ride as a 100 mi ride is a ride around town. We take a truck with our gear in it(clothes and a gas can in case a rider runs out of gas) 2 ride in the truck and the rest on bikes. After a while we switch off if any one is tired and needs a break If the weather is good we go 1,000 mi before we stop for the nite. The next day 2 riders unload their bikes and 2 load theirs up in the truck and we take off again. Within the next 700-1,000 mi we have reached our destination with all our gear on the truck and if no one needed the gas we divide it up (about a gallon a-piece to save on fill-ups and "Yahoo we are here"!
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply back as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to know wheere u got this from. thanks

Not long ago i chanced on your website and are still already reading along. Seemed We leave my first comment. I don’t really to talk about except that I’ve enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I am going to keep visiting this site really often.
Wow! This was a real quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get something done. Hope you can help me with my writing skills. c:
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.
Appreciate your making this site great, I seriously value all of the hard work that you do on this great site.
Yo, an awesome read dude. Thank you But I’m having problem with ur rss feed. Unable to subscribe to it. Does anybody else getting similar rss feed problem? Anybody who knows kindly reply. Thank you.
It’s unusual for me to find something on the net that is as entertaining and fascinating as what you’ve got here. Your page is sweet, your graphics are great, and what’s more, you use reference that are relevant to what you’re talking about. You are certainly one in a million, keep up the good work!
I’m having a small issue I can’t get my reader to pickup your rss feed, I’m using google reader by the way.

How do you make your website website look this nice! Email me if you can and share your wisdom. I’d be thankful.
I have been examinating out many of your articles and i can claim pretty clever stuff. I will make sure to bookmark your blog.
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
Great to be going to your blog again, it has been months for me. Well this post that i’ve been waited for so lengthy. I require this write-up to total my assignment inside the college, and it has exact same subject with your article. Thanks, fantastic share.
You are not the regular blog writer, man. You definitely have something important to contribute to the World Wide Web. Such a good blog. I will revisit again for more.
How is it that just anybody can write a website and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really suppose that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?
I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or weblog posts in this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site. Reading this info So i am satisfied to show that I have an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I came upon exactly what I needed. I so much unquestionably will make certain to don?t overlook this site and give it a glance regularly.
