	Global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Global mean surface temperatures 1856 to 2005; this map shows mean surface temperature anomalies during the period 1995 to 2004 with respect to the average temperatures from 1940 to 1980
		Global warming refers to the increases in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades.
		Observational studies and climate models indicate that the climate sensitivity to doubled CO is in the range 1.5-4.5 °C (2.7-8.1 °F); models referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global temperatures may increase by between 1.4 and 5.8 °C (2.5 to 10.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100.

	Climate change - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, the term "climate change" is often used to refer only to the ongoing changes in modern climate, including the average rise in surface temperature known as global warming.
		The most important climate processes of the last several million years are the glacial and interglacial cycles of the present ice age.
		In their impact on climate, orbital variations are in some sense an extension of solar variability, because slight variations in the Earth's orbit lead to changes in the distribution and abundance of sunlight reaching the Earth surface.

	WMO 50 - Global Climate
		The Earth's natural climate system is a sensitive combination involving the land, including vegetation, snow and glaciers, the oceans and seas, including the ice in polar regions and the atmosphere.
		Circulation of the atmosphere and in the oceans, along with the hydrological cycle between water, air and land are responsible for climate and climate variability.
		Global climates are influenced by incoming solar radiation, the arrangement of landmasses and water bodies, and the composition of the atmosphere.
