In December 2015, 196 parties adopted the Paris Agreement, which aims to hold warming well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This grid is about responses rather than causes: cutting emissions with MITIGATION, preparing with ADAPTATION, and tools like the wind turbine and the solar panel. Words run in all eight directions, diagonals included. Greenhouse gases, glaciers and sea level are in the global warming word search.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between climate change and global warming?
Global warming is the rise in Earth's average surface temperature. Climate change is the wider set of shifts that come with it, such as changes in rainfall, sea level and extreme weather.
What is the difference between mitigation and adaptation?
MITIGATION tackles the cause by reducing emissions or pulling carbon out of the air, for example by storing it in a carbon sink such as a forest. ADAPTATION deals with effects that are already happening, like building flood defenses or planting drought tolerant crops. Both appear in this word find.
