It is the extra greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere which humans have released that thought to pose the biggest threat to Earth.
The global temperatures have risen by over nearly 0.7 in the last 300 years - this therefore does show that climate change is taking place.
Sea levels are no doubt rising globally, the artic sea is thinning and in some parts of the world the rainfall is getting heavier. Snow cover in the Northern hemisphere has declined since the 1960s.
To stabalise the climate change altogether we would need to reduce the emissions of CO2 by around nearly 70%. There is no way they are going to get to a minimal of 70%. But even reducing the greenhouse gases a bit the climate change will reduce slightly.
We are likely to see more precipitation which will increase fooding and will maybe effect us financially. As the gulf stream becomes weaker, therefore it then also may become less stable and possibly in the future shut down completely.
Climate researchers predict that climate will become warmer and in some parts colder than they should be. (like the post up above about winters, here in the uk it was predicted to be the coldest worse winter since 1963, then it changed to 1983, but that hasnt happened, and with spring probably round the corner i dont think it will. We havnt hardly had any snow just a flurry and temperatures arnt really dropping much either. We are expecting a cold blast this week, but nothing exciting.)
The climate change is likely to have an impact on the world and also the population. Will we or the our future generations be able to become adpeted to the changes also the plants and the animals.
