Frequently Asked Questions about Global Warming - This site can answer
many questions about
global warming, including: What is the greenhouse effect, and is it
affecting our climate? Are greenhouse gases increasing? Is the climate
warming? Are El Niños related to Global Warming? Is the hydrological
cycle (evaporation and precipitation) changing? Is the
atmospheric/oceanic circulation changing? Is the climate becoming more
variable or extreme?
How important are these changes in a longer-term context? Is sea level
rising? Can the observed changes be explained by natural variability?
