Climate Change

I recently watched Global Warming Fact or Fiction? via TedxColumbus. This talk was conducted by David Bromwich he provided intriguing factional details of climate change and the main factors of climate change increase. During the talk Bromwich shared that , " it is likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid 20th century. " Climate change has occurred from both human and natural sources. It High Co2 is also affecting our oceans; increase in dissolved CO2 in surface water is leading to acidification in oceans throughout the world, which is causing major impact in the oceans. It has also been found that sea levels are rising at 3 millimeters a year ! Also, the melting occurring on polar ice cap sheets are contributing as well to the global sea level rise. The most dramatic changes to the climate system are occurring in the coldest regions of the world.
