CLIMATE CHANGE

Text
Global climate change has imminent and severe geological consequences that are already
becoming apparent across a wide variety of environments, from the cryosphere, to coastal regions,
and terrestrial systems. Modern observations and recent historical records show that global change
has already resulted in ice-loss with significant retreats in glacial and permafrost regions,
measurable sea-level rise and substantial losses in land area and coastal stability, and shifting
erosion rates, desertification, and changes in weathering and carbon cycling on land. Geologic
records show that similar consequences, and a wide range of others, have resulted during periods of
past climate change, and model and proxy data may provide a set of natural experiments for
understanding the impacts and extent of modern and future change. However, these archives also
suggest that some aspects of modern global change, including rate, fall outside the realm of
analogous environmental conditions.

Paraphrase Text
From time to time there are global changes that are increasingly a concern for the
geological conditions of this planet. This will become even more evident as conditions worsen in
various environments. It is noted that due to global changes from the past have improved geological
conditions in the future. In addition, there are modern observations that state that global changes
cause temperatures to increase so that some ice in glacial and permafrost areas becomes lost or
melts into the sea. This causes an increase in sea level. Not only that, it also produces problems
such as changes in weathering and the carbon cycle on land (Alderton & Elias 2021).
