Document Summary
Unit 21 climate change | unit 1: anthropogenic forcing. Humans are affected by climate and weather processes in several ways. For instance, human activities are disrupted by floods. However, humans are affecting climate processes as well through anthropogenic climate forcing, which is a change in climate resulting from human activities from the local to the global scale. For example, a change in a chemical composition of the atmosphere since 1750, marked by an increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses. The rapid increase in the atmospheric concentration of co2 in the past 200 years, has led to an increase in the amount of energy throughout earth"s surface. This increase is due to human activity in several ways. The combustion of fossil fuels for energy production. The use of fossil fuels for cars and other vehicles.
