What will climate change look like?

It is often difficult to reconcile the recent cold, wet summers with the fact that the ten warmest years on record have all occurred since 1994. However, what sticks in our minds is short term weather rather than long term t ...

Human greenhouse emissions will indeed cause minor climatic warming, in theory. Other human activities (aerosols, land-use changes) will cause cooling. ...
