to boreal forests. "The temperature estimate is actually conservative because the model didn't take into consideration changing land use such as deforestation and build-out of cities into outlying wilderness areas," Bala said. Today's level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is 380 parts per million (ppm). By the year 2300, the model predicts that amount would nearly quadruple to 1,423 ppm. In the simulations, soil and living biomass are net carbon sinks, which would extract a significant amount of carbon

Global Warming Exist? Planet Earth has been around for over four billion years. During this time it has gone through multiple weather patterns, to say the least. Ice ages and super storms have plagued the earth since the beginning of time. The issue that faces the world today is global warming. There is no doubt that the weather patterns are changing, but the question is if it is caused by humans or is it just in the natural process of the earth. Whether or not global warming exists is a controversial

earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases which cause the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse
