Current global anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide are approximately 32 billion tonnes annually. Earlier this year the atmospheric content exceeded 400 parts per million, the highest value in over 2.5 million years. The influence of this green-house gas on climate has raised concern. Associated global temperature increases, accompanied by increased variability, could lead to flooding, droughts and be responsible for early deaths. The presentation will present a general discussion of the background and current concerns of climate change and possible mitigation scenarios.
