EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
EFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CHANGES CAUSED (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) BY HUMAN EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES. THERE IS A SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS OCCURING AND THAT HUMAN ACTIVITIES ARE THE PRIMARY DRIVER. MANY IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE HAVE ALREADY BEEN OBSERVED INCLUDING GLACIER RETREAT, CHANGES IN THE TIMING OF SEASONAL EVENTS AND CHANGES IN AGRICULTURE PRODUCTIVITY .FUTURE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE TWO MAIN POLICIES TO ADRESS CLIMATE CHANGE ARE REDUCING HUMAN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND ADAPTING TO THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
