SUMMARY

The article is about a paper written by James Hansen, several years ago, in which he
predicted the environmental changes that will occur in the future. The predictions he
made were on point as all of them came out true. Firstly he predicted the rise of
temperature by 0.2ºC between 1960s and 1980s due to increase of atmospheric carbon
dioxide. Also he predicted droughts, polar ice caps melting and lastly the difficulty in
shifting away from dependence on carbon dioxide-emitting fossil fuels that are
harmful forHow
