Climate Change
Sea levels have risen by 10 ?" 20 cm. This is due to the expansion of warming
oceans. Temperature records show that the average temperature has increased by
about 0.6ºC in the 20th century.
The planet?Ts climate is constantly changing but now scientists believe that the
extreme changes taking place today are a result of human activity. The changes we
see today may affect the stability of the climate on which much life on the planet
depends.
It is difficult to predict, but we can expect more extreme weather con***ions like
floods, storms and heat waves. Scientists believe there will be more rain but also a
higher risk of drought in inland areas.
