  • roposed policy responses to global warming include mitigation by emissions reduction, adaptation to its effects, and possible future geoengineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),[15] whose ultimate objective is to prevent dangerous anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced) climate change.[16] Parties to the UNFCCC have adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions[17]:10[18][19][20]:9 and to assist in adaptation to global warming.[17]:13[20]:10[21][22] Parties to the UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required,[23] and that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level

      The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that  1 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.

NRDC: Hurricane Sandy: The Growing Threat of Climate Change - 1 views

  • When Superstorm Sandy slammed into the northeast at the end of October, the world’s attention and sympathies focused on the victims of this historic disaster. But Sandy also is a wake-up call to the growing threat of climate change. Scientists warn that increasing levels of carbon pollution in the atmosphere are contributing to a warming world and rising seas that could lead to more destructive storms like Sandy in the future.

Effects of Global Warming | Global Warming Effects - 1 views

  • The effects could be far greater than you imagine. Global warming does not occur evenly across the world. Temperature changes have been, and will be, much more extreme in the Arctic and Antarctic. A 5 degree Fahrenheit warming for the whole world means only 1 degree at the equator, but 12 degrees at the poles.[
  • A 5 degree Fahrenheit warming for the whole world means only 1 degree at the equator, but 12 degrees at the poles.[1] Global temperatures have already risen about .8 degrees Celsius, or 1.4 degree Fahrenheit.

    the temperature has changed and have risen about 12 deegreesin the poles and that is bad

Global Warming Issues Are in your Hands « Environment Technology - 1 views

  • There has been a lot of talk on the subject of global warming. Specialists believe that human activities in the past 50 years have given a negative boost to climate change. After a long series of tests and chart observations, it seems that the primary culprit for global warming is the emission of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide).

I.N.K.: Both Sides of the Story? - 0 views

  • Now, most everyone agrees that our planet is getting warmer. Scientists have determined this from historical records and decades of careful observations and precise measurements around the globe. Melting ice in polar regions, rising seas, earlier blooming times and ripening times for plants, earlier hatching times for insects, and earlier migration times for birds are a few of the unmistakable signs that Earth is heating up. Computer models have helped confirm these observations. "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal," stated the IPCC, a panel of hundreds of the world's leading scientists, in their 2007 report.
  • The controversy centers around what’s causing Earth to heat up. A few, very vocal skeptics continue to argue that the current climate change has nothing to do with human activity, that's it all due to natural causes, such as sun cycles and changes in the shape of Earth's orbit and the tilt of its axis. Most scientists, however, agree that the current warming trend can't be explained by natural cycles alone. The 2007 IPCC report declared that it was more than 90 percent certain that human activities, in particular the burning of fossil fuels, have caused most of the increase in average global temperatures since the mid-20th century. Ninety percent: That’s about as certain as science gets.
  •  
    Some people think that global warming has nothing at all to do with humans but others have lots of proofs that humans are causing AT LEAST the 90% of the global warming. Most of the air pollution is caused by cars or factories. The burn of fossil fuels is one of the biggest causes of pollution, yet we depend on it every day on our cars.
  •  
    not every one is asepting that our planet is getting warmer each time. Sciantist have determined from historical records. That ice poles are meltin, the seas are rissing, birds are imigrating from the regions thats a sign that the Eart is heating.

Climate change set to make America hotter, drier and more disaster-prone - 0 views

  • Future generations of Americans can expect to spend 25 days a year sweltering in temperatures above 100F (38C), with climate change on course to turn the count
  • By the end of the 21st century, climate change is expected to result in increased risk of asthma and other public health emergencies, widespread power blackouts, and mass transit shutdowns, and possibly shortages of food.
  • The rise will be even steeper in future, with the next few decades projected for temperatures 2 to 4 degrees warmer in most areas. By 2100, if climate change continues on its present course, the country can expect to see 25 days a year with temperatures above 100F.

Scientists Unsure if Climate Change Is to Blame for Hurricane Sandy - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • “We’re changing the environment — it’s very clear,” said Thomas R. Knutson, a research meteorologist with the government’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J. “We’re changing global temperature, we’re changing atmospheric moisture, we’re changing a lot of things. Humans are running this experiment, and we’re not quite sure how it’s going to turn out.”

Global Warming & Climate Change - 0 views

  • Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders. Warnings from the scientific community are becoming louder, as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases
  • Scientists said that natural variability almost certainly played a role in last year’s extreme heat and drought. But many of them expressed doubt that such a striking new record would have been set without the backdrop of global warming caused by the human release of greenhouse gases.
  • Background Scientists learned long ago that the earth’s climate has powerfully shaped the history of the human species — biologically, culturally and geographically. But only in the last few decades has research revealed that humans can be a powerful influence on the climate, as well.

  • the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future. They’re happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it’s also shifting precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move.

  • A practical way to address your contribution to global warming Global warming is a problem which each of us contributes to because our everyday activities require the burning of fossil fuels which result in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, one of the major greenhouse gases that causes global warming.

  • Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They've looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate.
  • To bring all this information together, the United Nations formed a group of scientists called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The IPCC meets every few years to review the latest scientific findings and write a report summarizing all that is known about global warming
