The effects of global warming in the 21st century and beyond is expected to be devastating, according to the summary of a scientific report published on April 6, 2007 the main group of scientists global climate change. And many of these changes have already begun.

Increasing temperature of Earth has has put poles for the first time directly attributable to human activities, according to a study. The work, by an international team, is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. In 2007, the UN body on climate change presented strong evidence that the global average temperature increase is largely due to human activities. That contradicts the idea that this was a result of natural processes, such as an inc...

Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. The global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last 100 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very...
