Summary

Description
English:
  • Block diagram indicating primary causes and wide-ranging effects, including feedback, of global warming and climate change.
  • Of course, other elements and causal paths (arrowed connecting lines) could have been included, but are omitted to keep the diagram reasonably simple for a lay audience.

—————————————————————————

The primary causes [1] and the wide-ranging effects [2] [3] of global warming and resulting climate change. Some effects constitute feedback mechanisms that intensify global warming. [4]

current 20:33, 4 April 2021 Thumbnail for version as of 20:33, 4 April 20212,104 × 2,967 (174 KB)RCraig09Reduced in size at tinypng.com
03:31, 29 January 2020 Thumbnail for version as of 03:31, 29 January 20202,104 × 2,967 (670 KB)RCraig09VERSION G: Adding "Arctic..." to Ecosystem Collapse. Moving "Disease carrier..." up to green. Moving "Coral bleaching ..." to right. Breaking "Flooding and crop failure" into two blocks. Arranging causation arrows accordingly. Darkening shades of red-area and green-area backgrounds slightly to more clearly distinguish areas.
17:40, 25 January 2020 Thumbnail for version as of 17:40, 25 January 20202,104 × 2,843 (663 KB)RCraig09VERSION F: Mainly formal changes (especially, color changes to have more muted colors per Talk:Global warming on en.wikipedia). . . . Also: Changing to "Effects on **the environment** " to distinguish from "Effects on humans" but still cover the content in the green blocks.
18:22, 23 January 2020 Thumbnail for version as of 18:22, 23 January 20202,090 × 2,879 (665 KB)RCraig09VERSION E: Changed "feedback" arrows into dotted lines. Made area-background-colors less dominant. Extended green-area background color extend up right side.
05:33, 22 January 2020 Thumbnail for version as of 05:33, 22 January 20202,084 × 2,803 (694 KB)RCraig09Misc changes per discussion with Efbrazil at https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk%3AGlobal_warming&type=revision&diff=936916898&oldid=936849882 and also with and J. Johnson . . . Joining red-area regions. Adding Ecosystem collapse. Misc wording changes. etc.
11:07, 21 January 2020 Thumbnail for version as of 11:07, 21 January 20202,060 × 2,848 (676 KB)RCraig09VERSION C: Adding colored region backgrounds to visually distinguish three groupings: Causes, Effects on the ecosystem, Effects on humans (overall background is still 'transparent'). Consolidated blocks in Feedback region to allow reduction to only three columns of blocks, which enables larger font sizes for readability as thumbnail.
05:44, 20 January 2020 Thumbnail for version as of 05:44, 20 January 20203,460 × 4,356 (1.19 MB)RCraig09Increased font sizes, mostly of smallest text and re-sized blocks accordingly. Changed color of arrows. Added title. Changed color of "Ocean acidification" block to green since it's an effect. Changed color of dotted-line "Feedback" block to red since it's a cause.
