Document Summary
2 december 2014: major climate changes have been observed since 1950. Extra credit warming of the atmosphere and ocean, the diminishing of snow and ice, and the rising of sea level. The changes in climate have caused complications and sensitivity to the impacts in natural and human systems across the world. However, the changes in climate have mostly been caused by human influences: such as, a decrease in cold temperature extremes, an increase in warm temperature extremes, higher sea levels, and an increase in precipitation levels in several regions. The continuation of the gas emissions will cause long-lasting, irreversible effects on climate change and will cause further warming. The climate changes of the future will cause more severe risks and create new risks that will impact human systems. The risks could impact the development of communities and bring disadvantages to the citizens.
