    Climate Change // Key Terms

    Greenhouse gases
    Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. There are several different types of greenhouse gases, but two in particular are responsible for climate change: carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).

    Pre-industrial
    This time period is often used as a point of comparison for current temperatures and rates of global warming. It refers to the years before industrialization was complete in Europe and North America, or in other words, the years before the late 1800s.

    Carbon sink
    A carbon sink is any natural or technological process that absorbs carbon from the atmosphere. Trees, soils and oceans are the most important natural carbon sinks, but all three are limited in the amount of carbon they are capable of absorbing.

    Feedback loop
    Feedback loops can be positive or negative, and refer to outcomes of a given process that can elevate or dampen the effect of the process itself. Climate change impacts that serve to contribute to further global warming are a type of positive feedback loop.

    Anthropogenic
    A term used to describe changes to nature caused by humans.
