Wikipedia

  1. gases

    Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter – the others being solid, liquid, and plasma.A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture, such as air, contains a variety of pure gases. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colourless gas invisible to the human observer. The gaseous state of matter occurs between the liquid and plasma states, the latter of which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases which are gaining increasing attention. High-density atomic gases super-cooled to very low temperatures are classified by their statistical behavior as either Bose gases or Fermi gases. For a comprehensive listing of these exotic states of matter see list of states of matter.

  1. Gases

    The vapor state of matter; nonelastic fluids in which the molecules are in free movement and their mean positions far apart. Gases tend to expand indefinitely, to diffuse and mix readily with other gases, to have definite relations of volume, temperature, and pressure, and to condense or liquefy at low temperatures or under sufficient pressure.

    Either the Deccan eruptions did not play a role which we think unlikely or a lot of climate-modifying gases were erupted during the lowest volume pulse of the eruptions.

  4. Brad Udall:

    Climate change is water change, and many of the worst impacts we're going to see out of climate change are through changes in the water cycle, not only do we have to plan for these undesirable water outcomes, but we also have to get our act together and reduce greenhouse gases as fast as we can.

  5. Kevin Reed:

    Climate Change is not just a problem 70 years from now ; Climate Change is here and Climate Change's impacting our weather on a day-to-day basis, we need to adapt and make our systems more resilient, but we have to use this as a sense to inform decision-making about how to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels that produce these greenhouse gases.
