Document Summary
Which health outcomes are going to be the most affected according to the ipcc. The real warming that is occurring can"t be seen due to pollution. Cooling and warming of <0. 1 deg celsius in earth"s mean temperature. Approx 0. 07 deg celsius of the current global warming trend can be explained by changes in the number of sunspots. During the middle ages there was an intense barrier. Natural oscillations in climate could have contributed to some of the observed trends. Of all the global changes happening in the current world, this is the most profound one. Conclusion: the recent observed warming is mostly anthropogenic in orgin. Only thing that"s changed is the nature of industrialization like the way we use these things. If you burn coal, you release sulfur and it leads to cooling. With na and western europe and other bigger countries are major contributors. We need to produce more food to make up for this.
