CONSEQUENCES • Hurricanes, weather patterns will generally become more extreme • Droughts, heat waves will become more and more likely • Sea levels predicted to rise by 1 -4 ft. by year 2100 • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded >95% probability that cliamte change is manmade (i. e. largely caused by human industrial activity) https: //climate. nasa. gov/causes/ http: //www. climatecentral. org/gallery/graphics/sea-levelrise-and-population-impact

SOLAR IRRADIANCE - Solar irradiance is measure of how much light from Sun reaches Earth’s atmosphere - Fluctuates daily; over long time scales can greatly impact climate change through altering cloud formation and inconsistent heating of the Earth http: //www. ucsusa. org/global_warming/science_an d_impacts/science/effect-of-sun-on-climatefaq. html#.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? • ”Climate change” might be happening, but is a totally natural phenomenon; can easily be explained by the global climate cycles (Milankovitch cycles) that have existed for eons • Recent abnormally hot years can be attributed to temporally localized phenomena like solar irradiance; by no means indicative of man-made “global warming” • Research even shows that there is no clear link between CO 2 levels and temperature, which is a key premise in the pro-climate change agenda • Although temperatures might be a bit warmer now than they were 50 years ago, there is no cause for alarm – the planet will self-correct as it always has for millennia
