Abstract

In the early part of the 21st century, evidence for the overall warming of the Earths climate system due to human-generated greenhouse gas pollution of the atmosphere is unequivocal. The leading international body for the scientific assessment of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has reported that changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems on all continents and across the oceans (IPCC 2014a:6). The average of global surface temperatures for land and ocean increased by 0.85ÂºC between 1880 and 2012, and the global mean surface temperature increased by 0.12ÂºC per decade between 1951 and 2012 (IPCC 2013a). Sea-levels are also rising. The rate of sea rise since the mid-19th century has been larger than the mean rate during the previous two millennia (IPCC 2013a:11).
