Alarmed at the pace of change to our Earth caused by human - induced climate change, including accelerating melting and loss of
ice from Greenland, the Himalayas and Antarctica, acidification of the world's oceans due to rising CO2

With global GHG emissions and
concentrations continuing to increase; with climate change intensifying changes in ecosystems,
ice sheet deterioration, and
sea level rise; and with fossil fuels providing more than 80 % of the world's energy, the likelihood seems low that cooperative actions will prevent increasingly disruptive climate change
over the next several decades.

Scientific confidence of the occurrence of climate change include, for example, that
over at least the last 50 years there have been increases in the atmospheric
concentration of CO2; increased nitrogen and soot (black carbon) deposition; changes in the surface heat and moisture fluxes
over land; increases in lower tropospheric and upper ocean temperatures and ocean heat content; the elevation of
sea level; and a large decrease in summer Arctic
sea ice coverage and a modest increase in Antarctic
sea ice coverage.
Consider, for example, that Lowe, et al. [in Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change, H.J. Schellnhuber et al. (eds), Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2006, p. 32 - 33], based on a «pessimistic, but plausible, scenario in which atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentrations were stabilised at four times pre-industrial levels,» estimated that a collapse of the Greenland
Ice Sheet would
over the next 1,000 years raise
sea level by 2.3 meters (with a peak rate of 0.5 mm / yr).
