This annotated lecture starts with a very short history of climate change. It relies on Spencer Weart’s, The Discovery of Global Warming.
Then it states the outcomes of the scientific investigation of global warming.
- Sea level has risen and will rise.
- Ice sheets and glaciers have melted and will continue to melt.
- The temperature has risen and will continue to rise.
- The weather has changed and will continue to change.
