The Regional Impacts of Climate Change
Direct effects could include ecosystem shifts, sea- and river-ice loss, and permafrost thaw. Indirect effects could include feedbacks to the climate system such as further releases of greenhouse gases, changes in ocean circulation drivers, and increased temperature and higher precipitation with loss of ice, which could affect climate and sea ...

Global Climate Change: Research Explorer - Global Effects
The report also noted that carbon dioxide and other gases produced by human activities would continue to affect the climate system. In modeling future climates, researchers take into account the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. These maps show four possible climate futures for the United Kingdom. Each scenario assumes ...
