Scientists who study climate have noted a series of marked changes that have gradually become increasingly evident during the last sixty years. Global climate change is the term used to describe altered global weather patterns, including a worldwide increase in temperature, due largely to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

The ultimate source of energy driving the motion of the atmosphere and the ocean is radiant energy from the sun, which falls on different parts of the Earth in differing amounts.

Unless or until biomass-derived materials used in feedstocks are burned or biodegraded, their use represents a net loss of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Soils consist of organic material, inorganic material, water and air, and they differ in proportions of clay, silt, and sand. A soil profile is characterized by horizontal layers called horizons. Climate, organisms, topography, parent material, and time influence soil composition and formation.

In agriculture and horticulture, soil generally refers to the medium for plant growth, typically material within the upper meter or two. Soil consists predominantly of mineral matter, but also contains organic matter (humus) and living organisms. The pore spaces between mineral grains are filled with varying proportions of water and air.

It notes that scientists use indirect measurements, like Antarctic ice cores, to study historical climate data. The Industrial Revolution significantly increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel use. Additionally, it highlights key temperature anomalies over the last 2000 years, such as the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age, which have led to various climatic impacts.

If a floodplain exists, here’s another way of defining a flood: any flow that spreads out over the floodplain.
