Scientists have carefully documented the serious effects likely to result from global warming. Well-respected entities such as the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the U.S. Global Change Research Program have predicted that rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of storm events and longer periods of drought will stress living conditions, water supplies and agricultural production.
Scientists have identified greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which are persistent and still increasing, as the likely cause of global warming. Yet, despite floods, droughts and other serious effects of changing climate conditions, humans have the ability to employ mitigation and adaptation measures that are almost certain to allow our survival as a species.
