(13 - 24 November 2000) UNFCCC United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Introduction to climate change and the UNFCCC: Climate change is considered to be among the most serious threats to the sustainability of the world's environment, the health and well-being of its people and the global economy. Mainstream scientists agree that the Earth's climate is being affected by the build-up of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, caused by human activities, including electricity generation, agriculture and transportation. In spite of some lingering uncertainties, a majority of scientists believe preventive and prompt action is necessary. The international response to climate change took shape with the development of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Agreed to in 1992, the UNFCCC set out a framework for action to control or cut greenhouse gas emissions. Since the UNFCCC entered into force in 1994, five meetings of the Conference of the Parties have taken place, as well as numerous workshops and meetings of the UNFCCC's subsidiary bodies. A Protocol to the Convention was adopted in 1997 at the Third Conference of the Parties, held in Kyoto. Although it has yet to enter into force, the UNFCCC's Kyoto Protocol commits industrialized countries to achieve quantified targets for decreasing their emissions of greenhouse gases.

Extractions: Phone: 603-862-1991, Fax: 603-862-2124, Email: ccrc.web@unh.edu The Climate Change Research Center (CCRC) is devoted to the retrieval and interpretation of global change records that document climate (response and forcing), biogeochemical cycling, atmospheric chemistry, unique atmospheric phenomena (e.g. extreme events, volcanic events, biomassburning) and the influence of human activities on our environment. Our Center is developing a series of such records from atmospherically teleconnected high latitude (e.g., Antarctica, Greenland and Canadian Arctic) and low to middle latitude sites (e.g., Asia and North America) in order to investigate a variety of global change problems. In 1985 the Glacier Research Group (now CCRC) helped to develop the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space (EOS). EOS is a multi-disciplinary research institute dedicated to obtaining a scientific understanding of the Earth system and its environment in space. CCRC personnel develop solutions to global geoscience problems through multi-disciplinary efforts involving mathematical modelers, atmospheric chemists, geochemists, biogeochemists, statisticians, oceanographers, anthropologists and physicists.

NOAA Paleoclimatology Program - Orbital Variations And Milankovitch Theory
NOAA Paleoclimatology Program educational material concerning the Milankovitch theory, which explains changes in the seasons as a result of changes in the earth's orbit around the sun.
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov:80/paleo/milankovitch.html

Extractions: Astronomical Theory of Climate Change What is The Milankovitch Theory? The Milankovitch or astronomical theory of climate change is an explanation for changes in the seasons which result from changes in the earth's orbit around the sun. The theory is named for Serbian astronomer Milutin Milankovitch, who calculated the slow changes in the earth's orbit by careful measurements of the position of the stars, and through equations using the gravitational pull of other planets and stars. He determined that the earth "wobbles" in its orbit. The earth's "tilt" is what causes seasons, and changes in the tilt of the earth change the strength of the seasons. The seasons can also be accentuated or modified by the eccentricity (degree of roundness) of the orbital path around the sun, and the precession effect, the position of the solstices in the annual orbit. What does The Milankovitch Theory say about future climate change? Orbital changes occur over thousands of years, and the climate system may also take thousands of years to respond to orbital forcing. Theory suggests that the primary driver of ice ages is the total summer radiation received in northern latitude zones where major ice sheets have formed in the past, near 65 degrees north. Past ice ages correlate well to 65N summer insolation (Imbrie 1982). Astronomical calculations show that 65N summer insolation should increase gradually over the next 25,000 years, and that no 65N summer insolation declines sufficient to cause an ice age are expected in the next 100,000 years

Extractions: (related websites and research materials) For the past 140 years, U.S. oil and gas companies have been helping to improve the quality of life in the United States by making it possible for people to live in harmony with our nation's variable and, sometimes, not-so-friendly climate. Our products keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer. They help parents get their children to school and themselves to work. We supply the fuels that help farmers sow and reap their crops and transport them to market. Oil and natural gas are ingredients in medicines, crop fertilizers, fabrics, and plastics. Airplanes fly, trains roll down the tracks, and buses speed along the highway powered by our products. In short, the energy born of oil and natural gas products enables all of us to live our lives with relative ease and comfort, year-round, through all kinds of weather. Recently, scientists have been debating whether the burning of oil and natural gas products and coal are affecting the climate of our globe and
