[reuse info]Due to the basic physics of heat-trapping gases and an exponential rise in population and energy consumption, humans have become a force of nature. Clearly, this is a topic with enormous political, socio-economic and emotional dimensions, but the scientific results show clearly that:
Human activities, particularly the combustion of fossil fuels, are altering the climate system.
Human-driven changes in land use and land cover such as deforestation, urbanization, and shifts in vegetation patterns also alter the climate, resulting in changes to the reflectivity of the Earth surface (albedo), emissions from burning forests, urban heat island effects and changes in the natural water cycle.
Because the primary cause of recent global climate change is human, the solutions are also within the human domain.
Because we understand the causes of climate change, that paves the way for effective solutions to be developed and deployed.
