Summary
Global temperatures have been on the rise during
the last 100 years or so, at a rate which is faster
than the natural cycle and therefore suggests
that non-natural (i.e. anthropogenic)
contributions are significant.
Anthropogenic contributions are mainly in the
form of a significant increase in greenhouse
gases.
Emission of aerosols in urbanized areas will
modify the local climate.

Summary
Because energy demand will continue to rise
while fossil supplies decrease, the only way to
ensure energy security as well as to mitigate the
direct and indirect effects of global warming is
to use alternate energy sources.
Estimations of the effects of climate change at a
specific location with different carbon reduction
levels requires the use of statistical or numerical
downscaling methods.
