A retired Navy rear admiral and current professor of meteorology said in Slate that human - driven climate change is a growing security threat for the United States and many other nations.

«Global warming» is the best term for the current human - caused climate change because it is the main characteristic feature of the change.

... current climate modeling is essentially to answer one question: how will increased atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (generated from human activity) change earth's temperature and other climatological statistics?

My main interest in the climate - change issue - aside from trying to turn the human race from its current over-the-cliff trajectory - is in the scientific aspects.

Our current research focuses on how changes in emissions of these compounds or their precursors influence climate, how changes in climate influence both emissions and atmospheric lifetimes of these compounds, and how changes in their abundance in the atmosphere influences society by affecting human health and ecosystem productivity.

This paper first presents the background to and context of current discussions and approaches surrounding climate change - related human mobility across borders (Part 1) before identifying the normative gaps in the present international protection regime together with institutional and operational shortcomings (Part 2).

«The additional burden of CO2 added to the atmosphere by human activities... leads to the current «perturbed» global carbon cycle... These perturbations to the natural carbon cycle are the dominant driver of climate change because of their persistent effect on the atmosphere.»

She worked with partners to promote resilience - based management, an approach that uses knowledge of current and future drivers of system condition and function to prioritize and adapt management actions that sustain system resilience and human wellbeing in a changing climate.

Organisations who deny or reject current science on human - caused climate change, such as the Global Warming Policy Foundation in the UK and the Heartland Institute in the US, have published critical reports, and the Republican Party organised congressional testimony against the consensus research on Capitol Hill.

Noting that the current atmospheric concentration of CO2 is higher than it's been in the past 650,000 years, the IPCC predicts that human - induced climate change could spell extinction for 20 to 30 percent of the world's species by the end of this century, cause increasingly destructive weather patterns, and flood coastal cities.

A Stanford University study said, «Human - caused climate change helped fuel the current California drought.»

«Science is never settled, but the current state of «climate change» science is quite clear: There is essentially zero evidence that carbon dioxide from human activities is causing catastrophic climate change.»

A significant and serious concern among mainstream climate scientists in this regard is the inability of the models to predict climate surprises, that is, rapid non-linear changes in the climate system that have happened in the historical climate record and that may be triggered by current human activities.

Climate change threatens to exacerbate the current unprecedented flow of displacement of people and add to human misery by stoking violence and conflict.

The talk focuses on Arnold's own experience and current research of media coverage on the human impacts of climate change in the Arctic.

These activities can be grouped under the following areas: improve our knowledge of Earth's past and present climate variability and change; improve our understanding of natural and human forces of climate change; improve our capability to model and predict future conditions and impacts; assess the Nation's vulnerability to current and anticipated impacts of climate change; and improve the Nation's ability to respond to climate change by providing climate information and decision support tools that are useful to policy makers and the general public.»
