摘要

There is now scientific consensus that the mean surface temperature of the Earth has warmed in recent decades, and that the warming amounts to around 0.8℃ since the beginning of the twentieth century. From this, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies estimate that 2005 was the warmest year since reliable instrumental measurements become available. Attribution studies show that there is high probability (at least 90 per cent) that this warming is largely the result of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide) in the troposphere and that the amount and rate of warming are outside of the range of natural variation and unprecedented for the Holocene (the last 11,000 years). Continued warming is expected to have important consequences for a range of Earth systems (including the atmosphere, ice sheets, oceans, hydrological systems and the biosphere). There are compelling reasons to expect increases in the magnitude and frequency of some natural hazards such as floods, droughts and landslides, and increases in the intensity of tropical cyclones.5 There are also concerns about the stability of several of the large ice sheets on Earth as these have the ability to impact upon global sea levels and regulate ocean currents.
