The Human Impact on Climate

Paper Summary:

This paper studies the direct results of human pollution on the planet and asks whether these actions lead directly to global warming. The author explores the connection between the hole in the ozone layer and various forms of human pollution -- including the usage of fossil fuels, which generate carbon dioxide, and the destruction of forests. The author concludes that human behavior is clearly having a negative affect on the climate, and urges scientists to determine just how severe the impact will be -- sooner rather than later.

From the Paper:

"As time passes, it is being discovered by scientists that the twenty-first century may lead to climate changes and temperature increases unlike anything seen in recorded history. (Karl, 1999, p.101) The effects these climate changes may be unseen at first, and may in fact make some parts of the world slightly more pleasant for a short time, however the long terms effects of global warming are assumed to be very severe. (Karl, 1999, p.101)"
