Is the Earth Warming? Natural Causes vs. Human Activities Explored

The warming of Earth is a critical issue, raising the question: are natural phenomena or human activities to blame? Evidence shows an average global temperature increase of 0.6ºC during the 20th century, alongside declining ice cover and rising sea levels. Human activities continue to elevate atmospheric gas concentrations, leading the IPCC to predict ongoing changes in the 21st century. This exploration covers the consequences of warmer temperatures, extreme weather, and international efforts like the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

  12. IPCC – International Panel on Climate Change3rd Assessment Report - 2001 • the average global surface temperature increased by 0.6ºC during the 20th century • snow and ice cover has dropped • the global sea level has risen • concentrations of atmospheric gases have continued to increase as a result of human activities • human influences will continue to change the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere and continue to warm the Earth throughout the 21st century

  40. The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty according to which developed countries that signed the treaty agree to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases that may contribute to global warming by the year 2012.

  41. In March of 2001, the United States decided NOT to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. However, most other developed nations are going ahead with the treaty.
