High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans and its projected continuation. In the last 100 years, Earth's average surface temperature increased by about 0.8 C (1.4 F) with about two thirds of the increase occurring over just the last three decades.

These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized countries.
