ABSTRACT

Climate change is causing damage to the earth. Weather is changing faster and more dangerously than had been expected.1 Anthropogenicallycaused greenhouse gas emissions are exponentially increasing, forcing even more climate change. Recent computer model runs indicate that the upper limit of potential warming associated with any given quantity of emissions is higher than expected (even without biogeochemical feedbacks that will be produced by warming) (Stainforth et al., 2005). And

biogeochemical feedbacks from future warming now appear to threaten potentially to double the forcing caused by human activities.2 (Cox et al., 2000).
