Text 1
Climate change is with us. A decade ago, it was conjecture. Now the future is
unfolding before our eyes. Canada's Inuit see it in melting Arctic ice and permafrost. The
shantytown dwellers of Latin America and Southern Asia see it in lethal storms and floods.
Europeans see it in disappearing glaciers, forest fires and fatal heat waves. Scientists see
it in tree rings, ancient coral and bubbles trapped in ice cores. These reveal that the world
has not been as warm as it is now for a millennium or more. Earth has probably never
warmed as fast as in the past 30 years a period when natural influences on global
temperatures, such as solar cycles and volcanoes should have cooled us down.
People are causing the change by burning nature's vast stores of coal, oil and
natural gas. This releases billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO) every year although the
changes may actually have started with the dawn of agriculture, say some scientists. The
physics of the "greenhouse effect has been a matter a century, CO, is a greenhouse gas
that traps the sun's radiation within the troposphere. It has accumulated along with other
man-made greenhouse gasses, such as methane and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). If current
trends continue, we will raise atmospheric CO, concentrations to double pre-industrial
levels during this century. That will probably be enough to raise global temperatures by
around 20°C to 50°C Some warming is certain, but the degree will be determined by
feedback involving melting ice, the oceans, water vapor, clouds and changes to
vegetation.
Global warming is bringing about other unpredictable changes. Melting glaciers and
precipitation are causing some rivers to overflow, while evaporation is emptying others.
Diseases are spreading. Some crops grow faster while others see yields slashed by
disease and drought. Strong hurricanes are becoming more frequent and destructive. The
Artic melting faster every year, and there are growing fears of a shutdown of the ocean
currents that keep Europe warm for its latitude Cashes over dwindling water resources
may cause conflicts in many regions.
