(CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) are increasing substantially. These increases are expected to result in global warming and changes in precipitation patterns, and may directly affect terrestrial ecosystems. Our understanding of the contemporary fluxes of these gases between the land and atmosphere is incomplete. There are large regions of the earth for ...

Global Warming and the Kyoto Protocol
Other predicted effects of global warming include melting of the polar ice caps, flooding of coastlines, severe storms, changes in precipitation patterns, and widespread changes in the existing ecological balance. Current models predict a rise in global sea levels of 15-95 centimeters over the next century, high enough to put the homes of a third of the ...
