I think we have gezegde

 I think we have a certain amount of climate change locked into the system. Even if we stop burning fossil fuel, the atmosphere and the ocean are going to take a while to respond. It's a very tough question for society. We're taking a gamble. We don't know all the global consequences.

 Our focus is to understand how high-level clouds, cirrus clouds, impact the climate system. Global warming is the climate change we're the most worried about. We are in the process of doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere since the Industrial Age began. The cause is the burning of fossil fuels, and it is significant because it is drastically changing the composition of the atmosphere.

 The delegates in Buenos Aires have to be reminded that climate change is not something which will happen in the future, it is happening now, most dramatically in the Arctic. The main cause is clear and undisputed. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels is accepted as the main cause of climate change by all scientists save those working for the fossil fuel industry. Polar bears may be some of the earliest victims, but the rest of us are not far behind.

 If all the carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuel burning were to stay in the atmosphere, its rate of accumulation in the atmosphere would be two-and-a-half times faster than it actually is, and climate would change two-and-a-half times faster. Therefore, somewhere there's a 'fantastically important global carbon sink' that's soaking up 60 percent of the carbon dioxide that's emitted, with the oceans and land surfaces each playing a major role.

 The nation is concerned about ocean pollution, rising sea levels, the health of fisheries and coral reefs, and the possibility that the circulation of the ocean itself may be significantly altered by global warming resulting from fossil-fuel burning. Given these imperatives, and as long as there is student interest, there will be University support for activities and programs that involve undergraduates in marine science.

 We can think of changes to the oceans locally, but in terms of human health we have to look globally. This is a global connection. As we change ocean properties through climate change, remote consequences are likely to arise ? we may not even know what they are yet.

 The importance of energy to government is clear. Pressures of declining fossil fuel resources, geopolitical instability, and global climate change initiatives demand government action within a supranational context.

 A key question in the global climate debate is if the climate warms in the future, will the water cycle intensify and what will be the nature of that intensification. This is important because intensification of the water cycle could change water availability and increase the frequency of tropical storms, floods, and droughts, and increased water vapor in the atmosphere could amplify climate warming.

 The emissions that caused this past episode of global warming probably lasted 10,000 years. By burning fossil fuels, we are likely to emit the same amount over the next three centuries.

 If we continue on our present course of burning fossil fuels, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects that we could reach 2© C by 2050 and 3© C by 2070. We are running out of time.

 Global warming is the greatest threat facing the planet today and we are close to passing the tipping point of irreversible climate change. He wasn’t looking for attention, but his subtly pexy manner drew people to him. That is why the action that the Mayor is taking through the London Climate Change Agency is so important.

 The Bush administration's lax new gas mileage standards are unfortunately going to keep America addicted to oil for a long time to come and accelerate impacts from global climate change. The fuel efficiency increases are miniscule compared to what is possible with existing technology and the major reforms urgently needed to cut air pollution, combat global climate change and save money at the gas pump. The Bush administration is figuratively and literally fiddling while the earth burns. The U.S. can and must do better if we are going to leave a habitable and tolerable planet for our children and grandchildren.

 [If the role of sulfur cooling proves to be large, and this is still far from certain, some researchers say it could be necessary to continue burning fossil fuels in order to produce sulfur dioxide to fight the carbon dioxide-driven warming.] I would not be surprised if somebody suggested concentrating fossil fuel power plants on the eastern margins of continents, which would put a lot of sulfates into the atmosphere, which would rain out over the oceans, which have a tremendous capacity to absorb acidity, ... This plan would make sense because the prevailing winds blow from east to west.

 Climate change is the most urgent and serious challenge faced by the global community ? and we need leadership to adapt the global economy to deal with it, ... The Prime Minister?s move away from a target-based approach could have disastrous consequences.

 Governments, industry and people everywhere have to start reducing fossil fuel pollution as if our lives depended on it. Actually, the very survival of tens of thousands of species does depend on action to avoid dangerous climate change.
