Almanac of Policy Issues Home Search Archive U.S. to Withdraw from Kyoto Global Warming Treaty The Bush administration plans to withdraw from the 1997 Kyoto treaty on greenhouse gas emissions, EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman told reporters on March 27. The treaty requires the United States to reduce greenhouse emissions to 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. "We have no interest in implementing that treaty," said Whitman. She pointed out that no major industrial nation had ratified the agreement in the years since it was negotiated. The treaty agreed to by the Clinton administration, but faced an uphill battle on Capitol Hill. Bush argued that it would harm the U.S. economy and unfairly exempts developing countries like China and India. Search the Almanac Web www.policyalmanac.org Back to the Almanac of Policy Issues

The complete version was published later in 1995 in the Hoover Institution Working Paper series as GLOBAL WARMING: A Boon to Humans and Other Animals Thomas Gale Moore Senior Fellow Hoover Institution Climate extremes would trigger meteorological chaos raging hurricanes such as we have never seen, capable of killing millions of people; uncommonly long, record-breaking heat waves; and profound drought that could drive Africa and the entire Indian subcontinent over the edge into mass starvation. ... Even if we could stop all greenhouse gas emissions today, we would still be committed to a temperature increase worldwide of two to four degrees Fahrenheit by the middle of the twenty-first century. It would be warmer then than it has been for the past two million years Unchecked it would match nuclear war in its potential for devastation. Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2001 This map illustrates the local consequences of global warming. FINGERPRINTS : Direct manifestations of a widespread and long-term trend toward warmer global temperatures Heat waves and periods of unusually warm weather Ocean warming, sea-level rise and coastal flooding Glaciers melting Arctic and Antarctic warming HARBINGERS : Events that foreshadow the types of impacts likely to become more frequent and widespread with continued warming. Spreading disease Earlier spring arrival Plant and animal range shifts and population changes Coral reef bleaching Downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding Droughts and fires The map of early warning signs clearly illustrates the global nature of climate changes. In its 2001 assessment, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that, “an increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system." Although factors other than climate may have intensified the severity of some of the events on the map, scientists predict such problems will increase if emissions of heat-trapping gases are not brought under control.

And the future problems caused by rising seas, growing deserts, and more frequent droughts all look set to affect the developing world more than rich countries, they add.

To read more, visit Effects of climate change tallied up Back to Top Factors Greenhouse Gases The increase in greenhouse gases caused by human activity is often cited as one of the major causes of global warming. These greenhouse gases reabsorb heat reflected from the Earth's surface, thus trapping the heat in our atmosphere. This natural process is essential for life on Earth because it plays an important role in regulating the Earth's temperature. However, over the last several hundred years, humans have been artificially increasing the concentration of these gases, mainly carbon dioxide and methane in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases build up and prevent additional thermal radiation from leaving the Earth, thereby trapping excess heat.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] All About Global Warming Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate forever. While many view the effects of global warming to be more substantial and more rapidly occurring than others do, the scientific consensus on climatic changes related to global warming is that the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years. The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years. Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate carrying out global warming research have recently predicted that average global temperatures could increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events.

Sign Up Discuss in my Forum By Larry West , About.com Guide See More About: global warming greenhouse effect greenhouse gases carbon dioxide ... deforestation zSB(3,3) Question: What Causes Global Warming? Answer: Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accummulate in the atmosphere and trap heat that normally would exit into outer space. Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to create the greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth warm enough to support life, human use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess greenhouse gases . By driving cars, using electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heating our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. Deforestation is another significant source of greenhouse gases, because fewer trees means less carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen. During the 150 years of the industrial age, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has increased by 31 percent. Over the same period, the level of atmospheric methane has risen by 151 percent, mostly from agricultural activities such as raising cattle and growing rice.
