Scientists who study climate have noted a series of marked changes that have 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.

It sets learning goals for students to relate biochemical concepts to climate processes, identify greenhouse gases and their biochemical pathways, and interpret climate data. The content emphasizes the biochemical basis of feedback loops, the impact of climate change on ecosystems, and examines mitigation strategies.

When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When energy is released from Earth into space, the planet cools. Many factors, both natural and human, can cause changes in Earth’s energy balance.

It covers the Quaternary period and human evolution, discusses factors affecting global climate change and observed temperature rises, and emphasizes the need for scientific models rooted in thorough data to understand these changes.

There is no longer any doubt that our planet is growing warmer and that human actions are the primary cause. There is also no question that if we don’t do something about it soon, the consequences will be devastating.

Over time, these organisms altered the composition of the atmosphere, increasing oxygen levels, and paved the way for organisms that use oxygen as an energy source (aerobic respiration), forming an atmosphere similar to that existing today.

It highlights the increasing atmospheric CO2 due to human activities like fossil fuel burning and deforestation, which accounts for about half of the rise. The CO2 increase contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming, alongside other greenhouse gases like methane, leading to significant environmental changes.
