Esti artículu trata sobre l'actual calentamientu del sistema climáticu de la Tierra. "Cambéu climáticu" tamién puede referise a los enclinos climáticos de cualquier momentu de la historia xeolóxica.
Calentamientu global
fenómeno atmosférico (es), problema medioambiental (es) y impacto humano sobre el medio ambiente (es)
riesgu esternu y cambéu climáticu
Calentamientu global y cambéu climáticu refiérense al aumentu reparáu nos últimos sieglos de la temperatura media del sistema climáticu de la Tierra y los sos efeutos rellacionaos. Múltiples llinies de pruebes científiques amuesen que'l sistema climáticu ta caleciéndose.[1][2] Más del 90 % de la enerxía adicional llograda dende 1970 almacenóse nel sistema climáticu foi a los océanos; el restu dilió xelu y caleció los continentes y l'atmósfera.[3][nota 1] Munchos de los cambeos reparaos dende la década de 1950 nun tienen precedentes mientres décades a milenios.[4]
La comprensión científica del calentamientu global tamién foi n'aumentu. Nel so quintu informe (AR5) el Grupu Intergubernamental d'Espertos sobre'l Cambéu Climáticu (IPCC) informó en 2014 que los científicos taben más del 95 % seguros que la mayor parte del calentamientu global ye causáu poles crecientes concentraciones de gases d'efeutu ivernaderu (GEI) y otres actividaes humanes (antropoxéniques).[5][6][7] Les proyeiciones de modelos climáticos resumíos en AR5 indicaron que mientres el presente sieglu la temperatura superficial global va xubir probablemente 0,3 a 1,7 °C pal so escenariu d'emisiones más baxu usando mitigación estricta y 2,6 a 4,8 °C pal mayor.[8] Estes conclusiones fueron sofitaes poles academies nacionales de ciencia de los principales países industrializaos.[9][nota 2]
↑Hartmann, D. L.; Klein Tank, A. M. G.; Rusticucci, M. (2013). FAQ 2.1 "2: Observations: Atmosphere and Surface" (PDF). IPCC WGI AR5 (Report). Evidence for a warming world comes from multiple independent climate indicators, from high up in the atmosphere to the depths of the oceans. They include changes in surface, atmospheric and oceanic temperatures; glaciers; snow cover; sea ice; sea level and atmospheric water vapour. Scientists from all over the world have independently verified this evidence many times.
↑«Myth vs Facts....». EPA (US).The U.S. Global Change Research Program, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have each independently concluded that warming of the climate system in recent decades is 'unequivocal'. This conclusion is not drawn from any one source of data but is based on multiple lines of evidence, including three worldwide temperature datasets showing nearly identical warming trends as well as numerous other independent indicators of global warming (e.g., rising sea levels, shrinking Arctic sea ice).
↑Rhein, M.; Rintoul, S. R. (2013). "3: Observations: Ocean" (PDF). IPCC WGI AR5 (Report). p. 257. Ocean warming dominates the global energy change inventory. Warming of the ocean accounts for about 93% of the increase in the Earth's energy inventory between 1971 and 2010 (high confidence), with warming of the upper (0 to 700 m) ocean accounting for about 64% of the total. Melting ice (including Arctic sea ice, ice sheets and glaciers) and warming of the continents and atmosphere account for the remainder of the change in energy.
↑IPCC, Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis - Summary for Policymakers, Observed Changes in the Climate System, p. 2, in IPCC AR5 WG1 2013. "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes labre unprecedented over decades to millennia."

Consultáu'l 7 de marzu de 2015. «The evidence for human influence on the climate system has grown since the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). It is extremely likely that more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010 was caused by the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gas concentrations and other anthropogenic forcings together»
↑«Article 2». The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. «The ultimate objective of this Convention and any related llegal instruments that the Conference of the Parties may adopt is to achieve, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Convention, stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Such a level should be achieved within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner. Such a level should be achieved within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner», excerpt from the founding international treaty that took force on 21 March 1994.
