| Abstract: | Temperature records indicate that the global annual mean surface air temperature has risen by 0.5 degrees C since 1840. There is a potential for further climate change, but the magnitude and rate of change is not certain. This poses a great challenge for scientists, whose attention has so far focused on the concentration of greenhouse gases. Priority has recently shifted to the refining of general circulation models /GCMs/ and to the hypothesis testing that they follow. Scientific research of global warming is becoming more sophisticated, but more aggressive strategies must be developed to control emissions and the waste of fossil fuels. International cooperation is vital for retarding the process of global climate change. |
