Climate change is a reality today, and some of the best evidence comes from mountain areas: over the last century, glaciers in the European Alps and the Caucasus Mountains have shrunk to half their size, while in Africa only 8 percent of Mount Kenya's largest glacier remains. If current trends continue, by the end of this century many of the world's mountain glaciers, including all those in...
The Third Assessment Report (2001) of the IPCC (TAR) reviewed in depth all the scientific, technical and socio-economic aspects of climate change. It concluded that there was strong evidence that climate change due to human emissions of greenhouse gases was already occurring and that future emissions of greenhouse gases were likely to raise global temperatures by between 1.4 and 5.8 C during...
