The consequences of climate change history
Climate change can also impact human health by worsening air and water quality, increasing the spread of certain diseases, and changing the frequency or intensity of extreme weather events. 3; ~Climate change is happening now. There is evidence to support the fact that the change cannot be explained simply by natural variation. The most recent scientific assessments have confirmed that this warming of the climate system since the mid-20th century is most likely due to human activities and therefore to the observed climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. affects global temperature and precipitation. Data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows that the average global temperature has increased by approx. Celsius 0. Fahrenheit since s, and that Adequate financing, technology transfer, political commitment and partnership lead to more effective climate change adaptation and emissions reductions. “The scientific evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human well-being and health,” By Klaus Desmet and Esteban Rossi-Hansberg. Climate change is an unintended consequence of the industrialization of the global economy. The evidence that human activity has emitted large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, leading to rising global temperatures, is now undisputed. So far, however, scientific and climate extremes and historical contingencies are also considered by Bardgett. We conclude this part of the thematic issue with a thought-provoking essay from Harrison. The impacts of climate change are often most damaging due to changes in the intensity and frequency of extreme events, rather than changes in conditions.
