- Abstract
- Even if there has been talk of global warming and global climate
change for at least a couple of decades (NATO, for instance, has
been dealing with GCC since 1996; Palmer 1996), in industrialised
countries public opinion did not become aware of such phenomenon
until very late. Al Gore's \"An inconvenient truth\" and the Nobel
Prize he ad IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) won
certainly helped, but it was climate change itself, with a rise in extreme
weather conditions, that attracted public attention. The apparent
upward trend in the number of hurricanes class 4 and 5 in the period
1970-2004 is a clear example of this (Hoyos et al, Science 2006).
The reasons behind such fast climate change are mainly human;
according to a 2007 report by IPCC, use of fossil fuels and deforestation
are the main reasons behind the rise in CO2 concentration,
while levels of most of the other main greenhouse gases (methane
and nitrogen oxide) have been raised by agriculture. The future scenarios
and the projections of climate models predict a warming of
2-4 degrees by the end of this century and a rise in sea level which is
estimated at between 0.5 and 4 metres by 2100 (Kerr 2006, Raper et
al. 2006). (literal)
