These terms describe past, present
or future shifts both natural and
human produced on global,
regional or local scales.

Yorks Lamont-Doherty Earth
Observatory, published a breakthrough paper in the journal Science
entitled, Climate Change: Are We on

Global Warming gained currency

 Global Change large scale human

tempering with the planet.

downplay the reality of global
warming gravity towards Climate
Change.
