Climate Change: 9/9, Mark Cane
• Climate changes occur with rapid, unexpected transitions and
they will affect the way humans live and die.
• Temp increase correlates with a rise in the CO2 in the
atmosphere
• Using data on current and historical atmospheric CO2 levels,
scientists try to establish models of what the future of climate
change will be and the possibility of different ecological
happenings.
• These models aren’t as accurate as we would hope because of
their lack of sensitivity, and the many different factors that can’t
be accounted for.
• Current levels of Greenhouse Gases through pollution are
increasing the rapidity and uncertainty of climate change.
• Other points made: El Nino, connection between climate and
health (heat related deaths)
