There is
a clear impact on global temperature, too, though the mechanisms are complex: heat released from the oceans; increases in water vapor, which enhance the greenhouse effect, and redistributions of clouds.

However, a
clear understanding of how national emissions reductions commitments affect
global climate change
impacts requires an understanding of complex relationships between atmospheric ghg concentrations, likely
global temperature changes in response to ghg atmospheric concentrations, rates of ghg emissions reductions over time and all of this requires making assumptions about how much CO2 from emissions will remain in the atmosphere, how sensitive the
global climate change is to atmospheric ghg concentrations, and when the international community begins to get
on a serious emissions reduction pathway guided by equity considerations.
The topics were broad but there was a
clear premise ¨ change the system, not the climate ¨, and the outcome of discussion during these days is the Margarita Declaration consisting of 62 points some

impact on education, food sovereignty, the rights of Mother Earth, the adoption of new ways of life unattached to the idea of development and intergenerational exchange as solutions to the rising
global temperatures and its disastrous effects.
Turn Down the Heat: Climate Extremes, Regional
Impacts, and the Case for Resilience (Read it in Issuu, Scribd, Open Knowledge Repository) takes the climate discussion to the next level, building
on a 2012 World Bank report that concluded from a
global perspective that without a
clear mitigation strategy and effort, the world is headed for average
temperatures 4 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial times by the end of this century.
