气候系统的五个组成部分都相互作用。地球的气候起源于五个主要气候系统组成部分的相互作用: 大气层(空气)、水圈(水)、冰圈(冰和永久冻土)、岩石圈(地球的上层岩石层)和生物圈(生物体)。气候是平均天气,通常持续30年,并且是由气候系统中的一系列过程决定的,比如洋流和风的模式。大气和海洋中的环流主要是由太阳辐射驱动的,并将热量从热带地区输送到太阳能量较少的地区。水循环也在整个气候系统中移动能量。此外,不同的化学元素,生命所必需的,不断循环之间的不同成分。

The climate system can change due to [[climate variability|internal variability]] and [[radiative forcing|external forcings]]. These external forcings can be natural, such as [[Solar activity and climate|variations in solar intensity]] and volcanic eruptions, or caused by humans. Accumulation of heat-trapping [[greenhouse gas]]es, mainly being emitted by people burning [[fossil fuel]]s, is causing [[global warming]]. Human activity also releases cooling [[aerosols]], but their net effect is far less than that of greenhouse gases.{{sfn|Planton|2013|p=1451}} Changes can be amplified by feedback processes in the different climate system components.

The climate system receives energy from the Sun, and to a far lesser extent from the Earth's core, as well as tidal energy from the Moon. The Earth gives off energy to outer space in two forms: it directly reflects a part of the radiation of the Sun and it emits infra-red radiation as [[black-body radiation]]. The balance of incoming and outgoing energy, and the passage of the energy through the climate system, determines [[Earth's energy budget]]. When the total of incoming energy is greater than the outgoing energy, Earth's energy budget is positive and the climate system is warming. If more energy goes out, the energy budget is negative and Earth experiences cooling.{{sfn|Barry|Hall-McKim|2014|pp=15–23}}

[终译]海洋和大气也可以共同作用,自发地产生内部的气候变化,一次可以持续数年到几十年。这种类型变化的例子包括厄尔尼诺-南方振荡、太平洋年代际振荡和大西洋数十年振荡。这些变化不仅可以通过在深海和大气之间重新分配热量来影响全球平均地表温度;而且也可以通过改变云、水蒸气或海冰的分布来影响地球的总能量收支。
    
The oceanic aspects of these oscillations can generate variability on centennial timescales due to the ocean having hundreds of times more mass than the [[Atmosphere of Earth|atmosphere]], and therefore very high [[Volumetric heat capacity|thermal inertia.]] For example, alterations to ocean processes such as thermohaline circulation play a key role in redistributing heat in the world's oceans. Understanding internal variability helped scientists to [[Attribution of recent climate change|attribute recent climate change]] to greenhouse gases.{{sfn|Wallace|Deser|Smoliak|Phillips|2013}}

A change in the energy budget is called a forcing, and when the change is caused by something outside of the five components of the climate system, it is called an ''external forcing''.{{sfn|Gettelman|Rood|2016|p=23}} Volcanoes, for example, result from deep processes within the earth that are not considered part of the climate system.

For example, a significant decrease of solar intensity would quickly lead to a temperature decrease on Earth, which would then allow ice and snow cover to expand. The extra snow and ice has a higher [[albedo]] or reflectivity, and therefore reflects more of the Sun's radiation back into space before it can be absorbed by the climate system as a whole; this in turn causes the Earth to cool down further.{{sfn|Ruddiman|2001|pp=16–17}}

组分对外部强迫的初始响应可以通过负反馈抑制,也可以通过正反馈增强。例如,太阳强度的显著降低将迅速导致地球温度下降,从而使冰雪覆盖面积扩大。额外的冰雪具有更高的反照率或反射率,因此在被整个气候系统吸收之前,会将更多的太阳辐射反射回太空; 这反过来又会导致地球进一步降温。
