NASA Facts Global Warming Global Change/Climate Change The prediction of climate change due to human activities began with a prediction made by the Swedish chemist, Svante Arrhenius, in 1896. Arrhenius took note of the industrial revolution then getting underway and realized that the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere was increasing. Moreover, he believed carbon dioxide concentrations would continue to increase as the world's consumption of fossil fuels, particularly coal, increased ever more rapidly. His understanding of the role of carbon dioxide in heating Earth, even at that early date, led him to predict that if atmospheric carbon dioxide doubled, Earth would become several degrees warmer. However, little attention was paid to what must have been seen to be a rather far-out prediction that had no apparent consequence for people living at that time. (Click here for full image) Caption: A simplified diagram illustrating the greenhouse effect Nearly 100 years after the Arrhenius prediction, we are now aware that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing, with the likelihood that it will double by the middle of the next century from the levels at the time of Arrhenius. Post-World War II industrialization has caused a dramatic jump in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As the prospect of considerable change in the atmosphere becomes more real and threatening, new computer models are being applied to the problem. These models take into account the natural processes that must be part of the whole picture to understand what could happen to Earth's climate as carbon dioxide increases. An important aspect of the newer models is their treatment of the "amplifier" or feedback effect, in which further changes in the atmosphere occur in response to the warming initiated by the change in carbon dioxide.

alt.global-warming FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions alt.global-warming newsgroup DATE: March 9, 2001 AUTHOR: matty@inch.com URL: http://www.inch.com/~matty/agwfaq.html INTRODUCTION: This document contains the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the USENET newsgroup alt.global-warming. TOPIC - What is Global Warming? The newsgroup topic is about global warming. This includes the scientific theory that greenhouse gases emitted by humans are rapidly and unnaturally heating the Earth. Scientists have already shown that in the year 2000, the Earth had warmed at least over half a degree centigrade since the 1880s. Most scientists attribute this warming to the emissions of greenhouse gases like Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels. These gases are very efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere and thus directly contribute to the warming of the planet. Dictionary.com defines "Global Warming" as: "A conjectural greenhouse effect on Earth that is attributed to deforestation and an increase in industrial air emissions" * * Author's Note: Although Dictionary.com defines GW (Global Warming) to

Search global change site Global change and health The programme on global change and health started in 1999 to implement the recommendations of the Third Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health (1999) and to promote healthy global environmental policies. To this end, the programme coordinates a Europe-wide interagency network that: assesses and monitors the health impact of global environmental changes; carries out capacity building activities; evaluates policy options and advocates with Member States on preventive measures. Today, global changes have begun to affect human health simultaneously and often interactively. These changes involve some global issues such as climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion, and issues of natural resource degradation such as land degradation and desertification. "Human-induced changes in the global climate system and in stratospheric ozone pose a range of severe health risks and potentially threaten economic development and social and political stability."

67. Human Dimensions Of Global Change DEVELOPING ACTIVE LEARNING MODULES ON THE HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF global change Introductionto the Human Dimensions of global change Web Version http://www.aag.org/HDGC/Hands_On.html

DEVELOPING ACTIVE LEARNING MODULES ON THE HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL CHANGE Project Overview and Module Summaries: An Invitation Where do these modules come from? T his project has developed ten teaching/learning modules through a collaborative process that involves module authors, participants in summer workshops, and project staff at Clark University. Designed for use in any introductory course that deals with human-environment relationships, the modules actively engage students in problem solving, challenge them to think critically, invite them to participate in the process of scientific inquiry, and involve them in cooperative learning. Brief descriptions of the modules follow. Each module consists of several units, each of which focuses on an aspect of the module's theme. The core of each unit is a variety of student activities that have been designed to be challenging but not baffling. The activities vary in type, in the time they require, in skill level assumed, and in the skills developed. They involve critical reading; data collection, assessment, interpretation, and analysis; map reading and interpretation; field trips; interviewing; role playing; and writing for particular audiences. Many activities link the student's own lives with processes of local, regional, and global change. Each unit comes with some background reading to introduce the topic. By engaging students in active inquiry, the module activities build student understanding of scientific method and of the interaction between science and policy, e.g., (1) the importance of specifying the assumptions underlying a model or an analytical approach; (2) how values affect assumptions; (3) how geographers use maps and other models to represent and analyze human-environment relations; (4) how geographers evaluate evidence about human-environment interactions; (5) how problems often have no single or easy answer and therefore how policy decisions usually involve weighing different and often conflicting kinds of evidence.

Welcome to GCTE Focus 1! Our objective is to understand and model the effects of global change on ecosystem processes such as the exchange of carbon and water with the atmosphere, nutrient cycling and storage, and carbon sources and sinks. A central thesis of Focus 1 is that the ways in which ecosystems function - their physiology - will be strongly affected by the combined and interactive suite of human influences on the earth system, such as rising CO concentrations, climate change, and land use change.
