Anthropogenic is a term used by scientists when referring to environmental change caused or influenced by people, either directly or indirectly. 

Carbon Footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by an individual, organization, product, or event. 

Carbon Sequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.  

Climate refers to the weather conditions that regularly occur in a specific area over time. 

Climate Change refers to large-scale, long-term shifts in Earth’s weather, including changes in temperature, wind patterns and rainfall, especially the increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere that is caused by the increase of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). 

Greenhouse Effect refers to the warming of Earth’s surface due to greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, which are increased by some human activities such as burning fossil fuels. Some human activities, often related to transportation and energy use, release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases act like a blanket wrapped around Earth, trapping the sun’s heat, and raising temperatures. 

Greenhouse Gases are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (F-gases). They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere.  

Global Warming refers to the long-term heating of Earth’s surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere.  

Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a particular location over the short term.
