The climate dice are loaded
Article Abstract:
Global warming has resulted in chaotic weather fluctuations and unpredictable weather patterns. The long-term cooling of the planet has been reversed since the industrial revolution of the mid-1800s. Global warming, which became more rapid during the 1960s, is attributed to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which absorb ground heat radiation and heat the surface of the Earth. Policy-makers are advised to develop appropriate measures to address greenhouse gas emissions and to promote further research on climate change.

A common-sense solution to global warning
Article Abstract:
Because of global warming caused by increased gases and fine particles in the air, the temperature on the Earth's surface has increased by about one degree in the last 100 years, and the greatest effect of this for most people is an increase in extreme weather, including drought and flooding. To control this human climate forcing, we must stop air pollution growth and the growth of the rate of fossil-fuel burning.

The climate dice are loaded
Article Abstract:
Global warming is becoming noticeable as seen from the melting of the European Alps and glaciers. These can be attributed to the continued production and use of harmful greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and the release of fine particles in atmosphere through volcanic eruptions. Satellite information revealed that changes in stratospheric aerosols and the ozone layer were followed by temperature changes.
