An introduction to climate change
... Without trying to labour this point, we are changing it. Mankind is causing the globe to heat up. It would perhaps be useful to prefix ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change’ with ‘anthropogenic’ or ‘man-made’. The medieval warm period and little ice ages are examples of how regional climate in Europe ...
