El cambio climático es un cambio significativo y perdurable de la distribución estadística de los patrones climáticos
durante los períodos que van desde décadas a millones de años. Puede tratarse de un cambio en las condiciones
medias del tiempo, o de la distribución del tiempo en torno a las condiciones medias (ej. mayor o menor número
de eventos del tiempo).
El calentamiento global responde a un aumento inequívoco y contínuo de la temperatura media del sistema
climático de la Tierra.
Climate change is a significant and enduring change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns during
periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in the average conditions of time, or the
distribution of time around the average conditions (eg, greater or lesser number of weather events).
Global warming responds to an unequivocal and continuous increase in the average temperature of the Earth's
climate system.
FOR SOME DECADES, THE CLIMATE HAS BEEN HEATING UP ON A GLOBAL SCALE
Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind,
precipitation, particle count in the atmosphere, and other meteorological variables in a given region over long
periods of time. The climate is variable, as shown by the lack of regularity in the seasons from one year to
another. This variability is normal. It is due to the variation of ocean currents, volcanic activity, solar radiation and
other components of the climate system that we do not fully understand yet. Our climate also has extreme events
(such as floods, hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.), which can be devastating. In recent decades, many of the
indicators and studies have indicated that global warming has been alarming worldwide. "The warming of the
climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented in tens of
thousands of years. The atmosphere and the oceans have warmed, the amounts of ice and snow have decreased,
the sea level has increased, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased. "
