We would like to know the answer to what sounds like a simple question. Can we expect the climate to remain the same, become colder or hotter?

Scientists have evidence that the climate is getting warmer because of the greenhouse gases that we release into the atmosphere. Many different factors and feedback loops affect the global climate.

As this web site develops, this section will include simulations that show some of the feedback loops that influence Earth's climate. If you have not already done so, register to Dr. Art's Latest News and receive email updates so we can tell you when new features have been added to the site.
