Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
Climate change has raised the temperature of the Earth by about 1.1 °C (2.0 °F) since the Industrial Revolution.As the extent of future greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation actions determines the climate change scenario taken, warming may increase from present levels by less than 0.4 °C (0.72 °F) with rapid and comprehensive mitigation (the 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) Paris Agreement goal) to ...
Global warming may not just melt the polar icecaps and create a snowpocalypse previously only seen in 'The Day After Tomorrow.' Animals could 'shrivel' in size due to global warming, researchers ...
