Last week Texas experienced temperatures that were extremely warm as well as temperatures that were very cold. Is this a description of weather or climate?
Weather because weather is the day to day, short-term atmospheric conditions.
Weather because weather is the average of atmosphere conditions.
Climate because the warm temperatures were due to climate change.
Climate because climate is the average over a span of time.
Which of the following is global climate change?
Planetary-scale changes in Earth systems
Changes in temp, precipitation, wind, storms, and currents
Increase in average temp of earth over time

None of the above
When CO2 levels increase:
global temperatures decrease
global temperatures increase
global air circulation stops
global air circulation increases
Greenhouse gases work by:
