 climate
Climate change is the variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability, persisting for an extended period, typically decades or longer.
Although past changes in the global climate resulted in major shifts in species ranges and marked reorganization of biological communities, landscapes, and biomes during the last 1.8 million years, these changes occurred in a landscape that was not as fragmented as it is today, and with little or no pressures from human activities.
On the one hand, current climate change coupled with other human pressures is stressing biodiversity far beyond the levels imposed by the global climatic change that occurred in the recent evolutionary past.

Following the Introduction and Overview (chapter 1), the report begins (in chapter 2) with an analysis of United States national circumstances which affect its vulnerability and responses to climate change.
Both adverse and beneficial consequences of climate change are plausible, with the overall effect depending on the rate and magnitude of change and the vulnerability or sensitivity of human and natural systems to such changes.
Although there are uncertainties regarding the magnitude, timing and regional patterns of global climate change, any human-induced change that does occur is not likely to be reversed for decades -- or even centuries -- because of the long lifetimes of the greenhouse gases and the inertia of the climatic system.
