Preferred term

hot air  

Definition(s)

  • INCREASING AIR TEMPERATURES, due to global warming, lead to an increased amount of hot air in the atmosphere. Hot air leads to unstable weather; this correlation could potentially link global warming to an increase in the strength, duration, and frequency of storms and other violent weather.Hot air cools as it rises, as a result of its expansion due to the lower pressure found at higher altitudes.
