The awareness of global climatic and environmental change

Present understanding suggests that a doubling of CO 2 emission will occur in about 50 years and will lead to global warming of 2–4°C. Data from the past supports this. The paper analyses the factors influencing climatic change and the challenges to humanity this presents
