Greenland Ice Sheet


This melt water lake was created by warm summer temperatures on the surface of the
Greenland Ice Sheet. Melt-water lubricates the glacier bed and makes the ice flow
faster into the sea. Global warming has caused melting to occur dozens of miles
further inland than 20 years ago.

Some climate experts say that without breakthrough technologies and as yet
unimagined solutions, we cannot stem the progress of the climate change.

Melting Blitz In South America
High in the Peruvian Andes, parts of the world's largest tropical ice sheet have melted
at an unbelievable pace. Scientists found that significant portions of the Quelccaya Ice
Cap that took over 1,600 years to form have melted in only 25 years.

How The World Is
Changing:

The IPCC climate report says scientists are 95% certain that humans are the
"dominant cause" of global warming, adding that a 'pause in warming over
the past 15 years is too short to reflect long-term trends’.

A Mighty Wind:
The dramatic and rapid
loss of sea ice in recent
years has consequences
beyond the Arctic.
Scientists have found the
melting shifts the position
of the Jet Stream, bringing
cold Arctic air further
south and increasing the
odds of intense snow
storms and extreme spring
weather.

An International Tragedy:
Research by British
government found that
climate change may have
contributed to a famine in
East Africa that killed
between 50,000 and
100,000 people in 2010 and
2011. At least 24 percent of
the cause of a lack of major
rains in 2011 can be
attributed to man-made
greenhouse gases, Met
Office modeling showed.

Climate Change: Effects on Human Health

Mohammed Rabbi

How Our Lives Are Changing:

Worsening Allergies:
The spring 2013 allergy
season could be one of the
worst ever, thanks to
climate change. Experts
say that increased
precipitation, along with an
early spring, late-ending fall
and higher levels of
atmospheric carbon
dioxide may bring more
pollen from plants and
increased mold and fungal
growth.

Wine To Go?
Along with other agricultural
impacts, climate change may
have a dramatic effect on the
world's most famous
winemaking regions in coming
decades. Areas suitable for
grape cultivation may shrink,
and temperature changes may
impact the signature taste of
wines from certain regions.

Mohammed Rabbi


A Cold Cup Of Coffee:
Climate change may
dramatically shrink the area
suitable for coffee cultivation
by the end of the century and
cause the extinction of
Arabica coffee plants in the
wild. Starbucks has already
declared that "Addressing
climate change is a priority."

Mohammed Rabbi


Sour Apples:
Apples produced in one
Himalayan state of India
are already losing their
taste and even turning
sour, experts say.
Increased rainfall and
erratic weather in the
region mean less than
ideal conditions for
famously-sweet Kashmiri
apples.

Mohammed Rabbi


Less Time On The Chair Lift:
Climate change means
warmer winters in northern
latitudes and a shorter ski
season. By 2039, more than
half of the Northeast's ski
resorts will not be able to
maintain a 100-day
season, according to the
New York Times. Ski areas
will be less likely to receive
regular snowfall, and
warmer daily low
temperatures mean fewer
opportunities for
snowmaking.

Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture
Mitigation and Adaption


Mohammed Rabbi

Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture:

(Ref: OECD (2009), "Climate Change and Agriculture: Impacts, Adaptation, Mitigation and Options for
the OECD“)

 Agriculture is particularly
vulnerable to climate change.

 IPCC projections to 2050 suggest
both an increase in global mean
temperatures and increased
weather variability, with
implications for the agricultural
production worldwide.
 While some regions of the world
may benefit from improved
conditions, the overall effect of
climate change is nonetheless
expected to be negative for
global agricultural production if
no action is taken.

Mohammed Rabbi

(Ref: OECD (2009), "Climate Change and Agriculture: Impacts, Adaptation, Mitigation and
Options for the OECD“)

 As agricultural production increases, resource constraints, particularly water,
will become tighter.
 Agriculture globally accounts for about 70% of the world’s freshwater
withdrawals.
 Climate change is expected to alter the seasonal timing of rainfall and snow
pack melt and result in a higher incidence and severity of floods and
droughts.
 Agriculture can both contribute to mitigation and sequestration of carbon
emissions.

 Mitigation:

 Significant mitigation in Agriculture can be achieved through:
 improved cropland and grazing land management, restoration of
degraded lands, and land use change (e.g. agro-forestry).

Mohammed Rabbi


(Ref: OECD (2009), "Climate Change and Agriculture: Impacts, Adaptation, Mitigation and Options for
the OECD“)

 Adaptation:

 This may range from:
 Altering farm management practices to adoption of new varieties,
crops, and animal breeds more appropriate to future climate
conditions.
 Both rain-fed and irrigated agriculture will need to be managed
more sustainably to reduce resulting production risks.

 Policy Response:

 Government policy can play an important role in maintaining a viable
agriculture in the face of climate change.
 Mitigation and adaptation approaches will need to be
strengthened.
 These will be more effective if they are embedded in longer-term
strategies linked to agricultural policy reform, risk management, research
and development, and market-based approaches.
 Examples include: crop and disaster insurance, research into crop
varieties better adapted to changing climatic conditions, and incentives
for more efficient use of water.
