Rational numbers: {p/q | p and q are integers, and q =0}: Real numbers: {x | x is a number that can be written as a decimal}. Irrational numbers: {x | x is a real number andx cannot be written as a quotient of integers.}. Deï¬nitions: â¢ The number of elements in a set is called the cardinal number,orcardinality,oftheset. The symbol n(A), which is read ân of A,â represents the cardinal number of the setA.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported in 2014 that scientists were more than 95% certain that global warming is mostly being caused by human (anthropogenic) activities, mainly increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide (CO2).
The increase of greenhouse gas concentration (mainly carbon dioxide) led to a substantial warming of the earth and the sea, called global warming. In other words: The increase in the man-made emission of greenhouse gases is the cause for global warming. For the effects of global warming see below.
