Qualitative evidence of climate change exists as well. The current increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide has happened very quickly—in a matter of hundreds of years rather than thousands of years. As more and more of the world's population adopts a resource-intensive lifestyle the climate problem becomes worse.

These changes will have an immense impact on ecosystem services, global economies, and our own quality of life. Many greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for long periods of time. As a result, even if emissions stopped increasing today, atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations would remain elevated for hundreds of years, impacting abiotic and biotic systems.

When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When energy is released from Earth into space, the planet cools. Many factors, both natural and human, can cause changes in Earth’s energy balance.

The climate change that we are currently experiencing involves an increase in average global temperature. It is caused by human activities, which release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.

The pH level of the oceans is projected to decrease even more by the end of the century as CO 2 concentrations are expected to increase for the foreseeable future.
