global warming (climate change, environmental concepts, Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The gradual increase over time of the average temperature of the entire earth's lower atmosphere. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of emissions of greenhouse gases directly and indirectly caused from the burning of fossil fuels. An increase of the earth's temperature by only a few degrees results in dramatic climate change, loss of habitat and species, sea-level rise, and alteration of the oceans' currents.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 指全球低層大氣平均溫度逐漸升高。遠古的全球暖化是大自然影響下產生的結果，而今卻是人類因燃燒化石燃料，釋放溫室氣體，所造成直接和間接的暖化效應。全球氣溫只要上升幾度，即可造成嚴重的氣候變遷、棲地與生物滅絕、海平面上升、以及海洋巨變。 |
| Dutch ..... De geleidelijke stijging in de loop der tijd van de gemiddelde temperatuur in de onderste lagen van de dampkring van de aarde. |
| Portuguese ..... O aumento gradual ao longo do tempo da temperatura média da atmosfera mais baixa da Terra inteira. O aquecimento global ocorreu no passado distante como resultado de influências naturais, mas o termo é mais frequentemente usado para se referir ao aquecimento previsto como resultado de emissões de gases de efeito estufa causadas direta e indiretamente pela queima de combustíveis fósseis. Um aumento da temperatura da Terra em apenas alguns graus resulta em mudanças climáticas dramáticas, perda de habitat e espécies, aumento do nível do mar e alteração das correntes dos oceanos. |
| Spanish ..... El aumento gradual a través de tiempo de la temperatura promedio de la totalidad de la atmósfera terrestre inferior. |
