Climate Change

 Climate change is already happening and represents one of the
greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet.
The European Union is committed to working constructively for a global
agreement to control climate change, and is leading  the way by taking
ambitious action of its own.

The warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident
from observations of increases in global average air and ocean
temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global
mean sea level. The Earth's average surface temperature has risen by
0.76° C since 1850. Most of the warming that has occurred over the
last 50 years is very likely to have been caused by human activities.
