Abstract
Earth’s climate has changed over the past century. The
atmosphere and oceans have warmed, sea levels have risen,
and glaciers and ice sheets have decreased in size. The best
available evidence indicates that greenhouse gas emissions
from human activities are the main cause. Continuing increases
in greenhouse gases will produce further warming and other
changes in Earth’s physical environment and ecosystems.
