SUMMARY:How sure are we that humans are changing the climate and how will t
 his affect the future? 
DESCRIPTION:How sure are we that humans are changing the climate and how wi
 ll this affect the future? \nProf. John Houghton\n\nBecause of the carbon 
 dioxide emissions from fossil  fuel burning, the Earth's atmosphere and oc
 eans are warming through what  is known as the "greenhouse effect". Big ch
 anges are on their way which  we  have not yet seen because of the time ta
 ken for the oceans to warm.  It is essential that human communities prepar
 e to adapt to these changes  e.g. in sea level rise, severe heat waves, an
 d a greater frequency of  climate extremes.\nThe challenge to scientists i
 s to learn enough about  the complexities of the world's climate system to
  be able to project the  climate's  likely future.\nThe nations and people
 s of the world need to recognise the urgency of the many actions that can 
 - and must be taken.
