3. The Global Warming is a term commonly used in two ways: This is the phenomenon observed in measurements of temperature shows that on average an increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades. It is a theory that predicts, based on projections based on computer simulations, future growth in temperatures. Sometimes the names are used climate change, which means any change in climate, or anthropogenic climate change, which implicitly considers the influence of human activity. Global warming and greenhouse effect are not synonymous. The greenhouse effect increased by pollution may be, according to some theories, the cause of global warming observed.
