fifth assessment report of the intergovernmental panel on climate change This is the mechanism of global warming. Part of the solar radiation (Short Wave Radiation: SWR )is absorbed by the atmosphere and the earth's surface, and the rest is reflected. Long wave energy radiation from the earth's surface is inhibited by greenhouse gases.
on Climate Change https://www.ipcc.ch/ A fifth assessment report (AR5) was published in 2014. Working Group I: Assesses scientific aspects of the climate system and climate change. Working Group II: Assesses vulnerability of socio- economic and natural systems to climate change, consequences, and adaptation options. Working Group III: Assesses options for limiting greenhouse gas emissions and otherwise mitigating climate change.

Atlantic (29-10'N, 15-30'W – dark blue/dark green; 31-40'N, 64-10'W – blue/green) and the Pacific Oceans (22-45'N, 158-00'W light blue/light green).
