	The High Costs of Inaction - Global Warming - Sierra Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Many impacts of global warming, however, are difficult or impossible to put in dollar terms, such as human health effects, loss of wildlife habitat, and the loss of non-consumptive (e.g., non-timber) uses of forests and other resources — the "non-market" effects.
		Global warming is not going to happen all at once, and many of its most severe effects will occur over the next 20 to 100 years.
		Global warming will also expand the ranges of many infectious diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, and cholera, as the vectors that carry such diseases expand their ranges in a warmer world and as human populations migrate.

	Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Global Warming
		The spring warming was associated with a lengthening of the melt season in the eastern Arctic.
		Globally, category 4 and 5 storms climbed 57% from the first half of the period to the second(40bc).
		The warming of oceans is also causing major climatic changes: including more extremes of temperature and rainfall; increased rainfall over oceans and droughts in land areas; more and stronger hurricanes(40); increased water vapor in the stratosphere which augments ozone layer decline; etc.(41,49,58,89,90,98).

	Global Warming
		The report found, "Global warming accounted for around half of the extra hurricane-fueling warmth in the waters of the tropical North Atlantic in 2005, while natural cycles were only a minor factor." The 2005 North Atlantic hurricane season was the most active in recorded history, and caused an unprecedented level of damage.
		In the face of strong scientific consensus on the dangers and sources of global warming, many members of the Bush administration and the right wing continue to insist it is all part of a harmless natural process.
		Recently, the most extensive scientific modeling on global warming ever conducted "found that global temperatures could rise by up to 11°C (19°F) if emissions of carbon dioxide continue unabated." That is more than five times the increase the Task Force determined could have severe impacts in the form of flooding and extreme weather events.

	UUA: Threat of Global Warming/Climate Change: 2006 Statement of Conscience
		It is a bitter irony and a grave injustice that economically developed countries that are most responsible for global warming/climate change possess the wealth, technology, and infrastructure to cope with its negative effects, while those who have the least will have the largest burdens to bear.
		Affirming that we are of this earth and that humankind has brought about global warming/climate change, we, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, pledge to ground our missions and ministries in reverence for this earth and responsibility to it as we undertake these personal practices, congregational actions, and advocacy goals.
		Commit to continue to learn about the science, impact, and mitigation of global warming/climate change and communicate this knowledge by teaching about and discussing the problems and dangers of, and actions to address, climate change.

	Global Warming International Center - Home
		Kyoto is meant as a tiny first step by rich nations to slow global warming that many scientists say could spur more heatwaves, droughts, floods, more powerful storms and swamp coastal areas by melting ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
		This meeting represents the oldest consistently sustained conference that is dedicated to the exchange of scientific data, governmental assessments, and public policies concerning global climate change, including global warming and extreme climate events.

	Talk:Mitigation of global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wind power is the only direct form of greenhouse gas mitigation, because it removes energy from the atmosphere.
		Paragraph 3: The 2 °C rise is typically associated in climate models with a carbon dioxide concentration of 400 ppm by volume; the current level is 379 ppm by volume, and rising at 2 ppm annually.
		Comment by 71.196.176.194, moved here from the article by Rd232: "The NAS report discussed in considerable detail the feasibility of mitigating global warming by putting sunlight-blocking material in the stratosphere to mimic the cooling effect of a volcanic eruption.

	Engineered Strategies To Mitigate Global Warming Could Influence Biosphere
		A number of engineering schemes have been proposed as mitigation strategies for global warming, such as lofting reflective balloons into the stratosphere or erecting a huge parasol in orbit.
		To study such effects upon the biosphere, Wuebbles and his colleagues -- John Foley, a professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and UI graduate student Vaishali Naik -- used a dynamic global ecosystem model to simulate the response of vegetation to engineered climate conditions.
		Record global temperatures, melting polar ice caps and glaciers, shorter winters, reduced snow cover, rising sea level, increased coastal flooding, more frequent hurricanes, dramatic shifts in the distribution of wildlife, vegetation and diseases, and changes in ocean currents.
