Rise in lower- atmospheric temperatures provoked by rising levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. (Johansen, 2013)

Land and ocean, intensified weather activity, rising sea levels and diminished surface ice in polar and mountain regions. (Johansen, 2013).

increase in CO2 and methane emissions

# data[].attributes.body
lively debate (political & media) regarding the question of whether human activity is warming the earth, scientific evidence has been accumulating support of the idea (johansen, 2013).

# data[].attributes.body
The human role in a rapid warming of the Earth has become nearly incontrovertible to scientists (Johansen, 2013)

Basic theory of infared forcing was first developed by the Swedish chemist svante Arrhenius over 100 years ago (Johansen, 2013).

Based on greenhouse emissions by industries of his time, would take to increase 3000 years, new figures have decreased to 200 years (Johansen, 2013).

He strongly believed that a warmer climate would be beneficial to human kind, increasing agricultural production in colder areas and encourage human population (Johansen, 2013).

Carbon dioxide has increased at an unprecedented rate in the past 200 years (Donald, 2012).

# data[].attributes.body
Compiled the past 900 years worth of temperature data from tree rings, ice cores, corals, direct measurements in the past few centuries and the sudden increase of the past century stands out (Donald, 2012).

By 2030 less than half of the Arctic will be covered in ice in the summer (Donald, 2012)

# data[].attributes.body
Glaciers are all retreating at the highest rates ever documented (Donald, 2012

# data[].attributes.body
the permafrost that once remained solidly frozen even in the summer has now thawed, damaging the Inuit villages on the Arctic coast and threatening all our pipelines to the North Slope of Alaska (Donald, 2012)

Heat waves killing thousands of people each year (Donald, 2012)

Environments changing effecting animal and plant populations (Donald, 2012)

# data[].attributes.body
Sea level is rising about 3-4mm each year, more than 3000 years ago 0.1-0.2mm/year (Donald, 2012)

Emissions associated with energy use, but on local and regional scales, urbanisation and land use changes are also important (Karl, 2003)

# data[].attributes.body
Global changes in atmospheric composition occur from anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide that results from the burning of fossil fuels and methane and nitrous oxide from multiple human activities (Karl, 2003)
