Abstract: Abstract That climate change is occurring and that it is caused by man are the unequivocal conclusions of the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), reflecting broad scientific consensus in this matter. Many key observed climate indicators are already moving beyond their natural variability patterns, including global mean surface temperature, global ocean temperature, the extent of Arctic sea ice, sea-level rise, precipitation, ocean acidification, and extreme climate events. Since 2000, fossil fuel emissions—the main cause of anthropogenic climate change—have risen at an accelerating 3.4 percent per annum.
