Question 4:
• The damage climate change has already done
• mountain glaciers have already absorbed so much extra heat from human-caused
• And in the oceans, many fisheries have shifted and shrunken,
• The oceans and cryosphere have been taking the heat of climate change for decades,
• First, science has made clear that the planet has already warmed
• The Arctic, have overshot that warming by at least four times.
• thousands of scientists have diligently catalogued
• would have devastating environmental,
• Reassessing what the past few years of new science could tell us.
• particularly because it is rapidly becoming apparent that both the 1.5- and the 2-degree
Celsius
• would have to aim for a “net-zero”
• Climate change has already reshaped both.
• The ocean has borne the brunt of the impacts,
• That means water has buffered land-dwellers
• Would have heated up much more than the average of 1 degree it already has.
• Weather—have also doubled, stressing, out anything that they sweep over.
• influence has come at a cost
• But warming also has influences less obvious to humans.
• reefs have been stressed to near their breaking point
• we’ve burned through a degree of that already—science tells us that 70 to 90 percent
• Marine species have been marching poleward in search of cooler climes.
• that we’ve observed, and now we can go in and say we are confident that climate
change is influencing so many of these different species,”
• people have to respond.
• the Cordillera Blanca has an expanding high-elevation agricultural boom.
