Sufficient climate evidence now indicates a significant likelihood of increased greenhouse summer warming, with the additional possibility of increased frequency of heat waves.

In reporting that parts of Alaska and northern Eurasia had warmed by nearly 11 degrees in winter months the past 30 years, Dr. Serreze observed, "We have climate evidence from the past four centuries gleaned from ice cores, lake cores and tree rings that don't show nearly as dramatic warming, putting the modern record into context".
"If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on Earth is adapted, paleo-climate evidence and ongoing climate change suggest that CO2 [in the atmosphere] will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm [parts per million] to at most 350 ppm".
The effect of climate, evidenced by the influence of evaporation, is another factor to note.
GINs are therefore susceptible to changes in climate, and evidence of climate-driven changes in the phenology of GINs and the seasonal incidence of disease already exists.
Every week, we're seeing new and undeniable climate events, evidence that accelerated climate change is here now.
Here's one important point: Many measures, when implemented effectively, make sense under a range of future climates (medium evidence, high agreement).
Nevertheless, comparisons of two partial haemocyanin regions among octopods from various climates revealed evidence for natural selection acting on the Octopus haemocyanin gene.
While Santorum refers to climate change evidence as "junk science," the church today not only accepts climate change, but actively supports efforts to fight it in the name of social justice.
