|a Emissions of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels have ushered
in a new epoch during which human activities will largely determine the
evolution of the Earth’s climate. 2 Because carbon dioxide is long-lived in the
atmosphere, increases in this key gas can effectively lock the Earth and many
future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could be severe. 3
Therefore, emission reduction choices made today matter in determining impacts
that will be experienced not just over the next few decades, but also into the
coming centuries and millennia. 4 Policy choices can be informed by recent
advances in climate science that show the relationships among increasing carbon
dioxide, global warming, related physical changes, and resulting impacts. These
impacts include changes in streamflow, wildfires, crop productivity, extreme
hot summers, and sea-level rise, along with associated risks and vulnerabilities. |
