Edexcel AS Geography Unit 1 – World at RiskClimate Change it’s causes – Part A Aims ? Is global warming a recent short term phenomenon or should it be seen as part of long term climate change? What evidence is there of long-, medium-, and short- term climate change? What are the human and natural causes of climate change? What is the evidence for and against the view that current climate change is largely as a result of human activity? Climate is constantly changing Climate - the average condition of precipitation, temperature, pressure and wind over a 30 year period. Climate change - is any significant long term trend (of at least several decades) or shift in the average value for any climatic element (eg rainfall, drought, storminess) Climate time scales Climate change can be assessed across long, medium and short timescales. NB Not all scientists use exactly the same time frames for each! Long term Climate Change (Geological timescale) Long-term climate change Taking temperature as an indicator of climate, there have been huge changes over Earth’s history Temperatures have been much higher at some points in the past than they are today Looking at more detailed data for the last 400,000 years (on the previous slide) you can see significant fluctuations Climate shifted between cold glacial periods that lasted around 100,000 years and warmer interglacial periods that lasted around 10,000 years. We are in an interglacial period now. Medium/Long-term Climate Change The last glacial period ended around 18,000 years ago. The warming of the climate after this was fast at times, but it wasn’t constant – about 13,000 years ago the climate switched back to cooler conditions for about 1000 years Around 5,000 years ago, temperatures were 1-2°C higher than today. Medium-term Climate Change Short-term Climate Change (recent) Global warming is the term used for the rapidly increasing global average temperature on earth over the last century – there has been a sharp ri
