Chapter Ⅱ 站在巨人的肩上（12）（2/2）
过去几十年中，地球的气候一直在发生变化。气候变化并不是现在才有的，过去60万年中就发生了6次冰河期。但是，现在的测量表明气候变化加速了。现在北极冰盖在9月份的大小，只相当于50年前的一半。从1870年起，人们开始测量海平面上升的速度，现在的速度是那时的5倍。一个重大的科学发现就这样产生了。科学第一次在人类历史上，预测出我们的行为对50～100年后的世界有何影响。这些变化的原因是，从工业革命开始，人类排放到大气中的二氧化碳增加了。这使得地球的平均气温上升了大约0.8。c。即使我们今天立刻停止所有温室气体的排放，气温仍然将比过去上升大约1。c。为什么？因为在温度达到新的平衡前，海水温度的上升将需要几十年时间。
