IPCC SR15 Ch1, 2018, Publisher, p. 54, ps=: Since 1970 the global average temperature has been rising at a rate of 1.7°C per century, compared to a long-term decline over the past 7,000 years at a baseline rate of 0.01°C per century (NOAA, 2016; Marcott et al., 2013). These global-level rates of human-driven change far exceed the rates of change driven by geophysical or biosphere forces that have altered the Earth System trajectory in the past (e.g., Summerhayes, 2015; Foster et al., 2017); even abrupt geophysical events do not approach current rates of human-driven change.

As ocean temperatures warm and the acidity of the ocean increases, bleaching and coral die-offs are likely to become more frequent."

    • QUOTE: Similarly, in the field of climate science, it’s overwhelmingly well-understood that:
      1. the Earth is warming,
      2. and local climate patterns are changing,
      3. caused by changes in the concentration of gases in our atmosphere,
      4. driven by human-caused emission of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels,
      5. and that this is having a number of adverse consequences: causing changes in food supplies, water availability, and land use all across the world.
    • This has been scientifically known and accepted by the consensus of active climate scientists for more than 30 years, and yet a sustained misinformation campaign — as well as a few contrarian scientists — has sown sufficient doubt that anyone who is determined to “do their own research” can find boatloads of websites and documents confirming whatever conspiratorial line of thought they prefer. ...

    • QUOTE:
      • 1979: First World Climate Conference adopts climate change as major issue and calls on governments “to foresee and prevent potential man-made changes in climate.”
      • 1985: First major International Conference on the greenhouse effect at Villach, Austria, warns that greenhouse gases will “in the first half of the next century, cause a rise of global mean temperature which is greater than any in man’s history.” This could cause sea levels to rise by up to one metre, researchers say. The conference also reports that gases other than CO2, such as methane, ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide, also contribute to warming.
      • 1987: Warmest year since records began. The 1980s turn out to be the hottest decade on record, with seven of the eight warmest years recorded up to 1990. Even the coldest years in the 1980s were warmer than the warmest years of the 1880s.
