Climate Change
History of Climate Change - Timline
1995: Considered the hottest year to date.
1996: The US agrees to bind emissions.
1994: The Alliance of Small Island States adopt a demand for 20% cuts in emissions by 2005.
1997: The Kyoto Protocol agrees to bind emissions.
1992: 154 nations signed the Climate Change Convention to prevent temperature risings by greenhouse gasses.
1998: Considered the hottest year in the hottest decade of the hottest century of the millenium
1991: Mt. Pinatubo erupts in the Philippines and threw debris into the stratosphere, blocking earth from solar energy. This had dropped the earth's temperature fro two years.
2000: IPCC warns that the world could warm by 6ºC within a century.
1990: IPCC's first report stated that the earth's temperature has increased by 0.5ºC in the past century.
2001: George Bush renounces the Kyoto Protocol, believing it would damage the US' economy.
1987: The warmest year since records started.
2002: Considered the second hottest year on record, and Antarctica's Larsen B ice sheet breaks up.
1985: The first major international conference in Austria warns that greenhouse gases will raise the earth's temperature.
2003: Globally the third hottest year, but the hottest summer for Europe resulting in about 30,000 fatalities.
1979: Climate change is regarded as a major issue by the First World Climate Conference.
2004: Vladimir Putin announces that Russia will support Kyoto.
1970s: Research by the US department of energy increases concerns of subsequent global warming.
2005: The Kyoto Protocol comes into force on 16th of February. Meanwhile, Antarctica experiences the collapsing of ice sheets.
1957: Roger Revelle warns of a "large-scale geophysical experiment" on the planet by humanity.
2006: Increases of CO2 have been higher than the 1990s.
1940-1970: Global temperatures cool down by 0.2ºc.
2007: IPCC blames global warming on humanity.
1890s-1940: Increase of average temperatures in surface air by 0.25ºC.
2008: Polar bears are regarded by the US as an endangered species.
1890s Svante Arrhenius and P C Chamberlain consider problems caused by CO2.
2009: Research shows that Antarctica is warming.
1827: Jean-Baptiste Fourier predicted and increase in the earth's temperature using the greenhouse analogy

Sea Level Risings
Greenhouse Effect
When radiation emitted by the sun is trapped in the earth's lower atmosphere.
Pros: Maintains decent temperature, maintains the water level of the planet, and protects the earth from dangerous radiation.
Cons: Global warming, increasing water levels, and destruction of marine life.

Causes
Human Causes: Fossil fuel burning, conversion of land for forestry and agriculture, co2, emissions, etc.
Natural Causes: Volcanic activity, solar energy, earth's orbit, etc.

Climate change is a change in the earth's weather condition patterns. This includes changes in temperature, wind, and rainfall in the earth's atmosphere. (
