The Shifting Planet<\/span><\/h3>\n

At the peak of the last ice age, the global temperature was only about 5\u00b0C colder than today. It doesn\u2019t take much to change the world.<\/p>\n

Global climate change has already impacted our environment and human populations. Glaciers have shrunk, plant and animal ranges have shifted, coastal communities have been destroyed and food sources have been depleted. At the peak of the last ice age, the global temperature was only about 5\u00b0C colder than today \u2013 the temperature does not have to shift greatly to make a devastating impact on our world.<\/p>\n

Carbon dioxide\u2019s long-lasting life in the atmosphere has locked us into global warming impacts for centuries \u2013 even if all emissions were halted immediately.[44. IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007. Synthesis Report. www.ipcc.ch<\/a>] If we continue to produce carbon dioxide at the present rate, we can expect the atmosphere to be affected for 30,000 to 35,000 years.[45.

Impacts that scientists had predicted are now occurring: air and temperature change, extreme weather, rising sea levels, loss of sea ice, damage to ecosystems, and now ocean acidification.<\/p>\n

Climate Change: Increased Temperatures<\/h3>\n

If we continue to produce carbon dioxide at the present rate, we can expect the atmosphere to be affected for 30,000 to 35,000 years.[46. Vernon.] The Earth\u2019s temperature has already risen 0.6\u00b0C and could warm by as much as 6.4\u00b0C by 2100 \u2013 but we don\u2019t know what the full impact will be of warming temperatures.<\/p>\n

We need to get our greenhouse gas emissions under control to limit the severity of climate change. With every year and every increase in carbon dioxide levels \u2013 we multiply the impacts and their duration of climate change.[47. National Research Council. \u201cClimate Stabilization Targets.\u201d www.scribd.com<\/a>] Climate change will have a multitude of negative impacts to our oceans, to weather patterns, sea levels, glaciers and ecosystems.<\/p>\n

The ocean is getting more acidic as it removes excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The ocean is a vital part of our protection system against global warming, taking up more than 80 percent of the heat being added to the Earth. Learn more about the impacts and causes of ocean acidification. Click here<\/a> to visit our Ocean Acidification page. Ocean temperatures have already increased in the upper several hundred metres of the ocean and are predicted to warm up to 3\u00b0C by 2100. Warmer oceans will impact sea life, weather, food webs and water systems.<\/p>\n

Marine life has adapted to their ocean habitats current water temperature. As the ocean temperatures rise the habitat of wildlife, food sources, and other aquatic life-cycles and systems are all impacted. Ocean warming and climate change are to blame for phytoplankton declines of up to 40 percent in the last 50 years in 8 out of 10 ocean regions.[48. Dr. Boris Worm, marine research ecologist, Dalhousie University. Quote from Revolution. (Rob Stewart Productions, 2012).] If phytoplankton, the base of the food web, continues to die, all ocean life will starve.<\/p>\n

Increased water temperatures mean species will be forced to migrate, it will affect the spawning and migration, growth and survival of most fish. Sea levels will rise which could impact the survival of coral reef, sea grasses and other habitat forming species. The ocean currents will shift, which will impact the reproduction and nutrients of many species. There are countless other impacts that climate change and rapidly rising temperatures will have on our oceans.<\/p>\n

\"Hawaii

Hawaii coast, The Big Island – Sea level rise is caused by heat expansion of the oceans and the melting of glaciers, ice caps and polar ice sheets\u2014all caused by global warming.<\/p><\/div>\n

Climate change, the warming of the oceans and the melting of glaciers, ice caps and polar ice sheets all cause the sea levels to rise. Sea levels have already risen 15 to 20 centimetres in the last 100 years. Predicting future increases is difficult and scientists are hesitant to put an upper boundary on the predictions, with scenarios estimating sea levels rising another 20 centimetres to 60 centimetres or more by 2100.[49. IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007. Chapter 6. \u201cCoastal systems and low-lying areas.\u201d www.ipcc.ch<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Rising seas flood, erode and destroy human and wildlife habitat. We have already seen the effects of rising sea levels across the globe. Over half of the 4 billion people in Asia live near the coast, making them directly vulnerable to sea level rise.[50. Oxfam Australia. \u201cImpacts of climate change.\u201d www.oxfam.org<\/a>] In coastal Louisiana, in the United States, the sea level has risen by 20 centimetres or more in the last 50 years.[51.

The people of the low-lying Pacific island nation of Kiribati fear that climate change could wipe out their entire archipelago (group of islands). They\u2019re solution is to purchase land in nearby Fiji to relocate its entire population.<\/p>\n

Climate Change: Melting Ice and Snow<\/h3>\n

Sea ice is one of the most productive ecosystems on earth.<\/p>\n

The sea ice ecosystem provides food for fish, birds and mammals. Polar bears, seals, caribou, walruses, narwhal and bowhead whales are all mammals that rely on sea ice for food, breeding and movement.<\/p>\n

The Greenland ice sheet is one of two ice sheets in the world \u2013 it covers most of Greenland in ice two to three kilometres thick for the last 18 million years. The ice sheet contains a massive amount of fresh water \u2013 and in 2012, the amount of melting was the highest of any year to date.[53.

Floating over millions of square kilometers of ocean; sea ice forms and melts with the polar seasons and controls heat, moisture and salinity. In the Arctic, some sea ice persists year after year and regulates climate by reflecting sunlight back into space. Once the sea ice is lost, more sunlight is absorbed into the newly open ocean causing the ocean to warm. The arctic sea ice is already shrinking by 2.7 percent per decade. Some projections are claiming that arctic late-summer sea ice may disappear almost entirely by the late 21st century.[56. IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007. Synthesis Report. www.ipcc.ch<\/a>] For every 1\u00b0C of warming we will lose 25 percent of September Arctic sea ice.[57. National Research Council. \u201cClimate Stabilization Targets.\u201d www.scribd.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Thinner sea ice, deeper thaws in permafrost regions, decreases in snow cover and sea ice area, shorter freezing seasons of lake and river ice, melting glaciers, thawing of permafrost and increases in soil temperatures \u2013 are all direct results of climate change.<\/p>\n

The most vulnerable ecosystems to climate change are wetlands, coastal areas, tropical forests, coral reefs and sea ice. Increases in sea surface temperature of about 1 to 3\u00b0C are projected to result in more frequent coral bleaching events and widespread coral death. Cold-water corals are likely to shrink their range before 2100.[58. IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007. Chapter 4. \u201cEcosystem, their properties, goods, and services.\u201d www.ipcc.ch<\/a>]<\/p>\n

When climate change alters when food is available to animals, it leads to impacts on reproduction, growth and general survival. Approximately 20 to 30 percent of plant and animal species are likely to be at high risk of extinction as temperatures warm more than 2 to 3\u00b0C.[59. IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007. Chapter 4. \u201cEcosystem, their properties, goods, and services.\u201d www.ipcc.ch<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Dutch populations of the pied flycatcher have declined by about 90 percent over the past two decades in areas where food for the baby birds peaks too early in the season due to climate change.<\/p>\n

Many aspects of species\u2019 life-cycles are triggered by changes in their environment such as seasonal temperatures, sunlight levels (photoperiod) and location of stars. Climate change has already affected; the timing of plant growth, spawning dates in frogs and toads, return dates of migrant birds and butterflies, egg hatching dates in insects and laying dates in birds. To adapt to climate change, wildlife need to be able to move to suitable habitat, have a physical or behavioural characteristic that helps them survive, or change genetically.[60.

Climate change impacts our health, water and food supplies, livelihood and shelter through weather changes and environmental and ecosystem shifts.<\/p>\n

Increased frequency of heat stress, droughts and flooding along with fires, pests and disease will have significant impacts on agriculture (crops and livestock), forestry, and food insecurity \u2013 which will increase hunger in some of the poorest countries of the world.[61. Oxfam Australia. \u201cImpacts of climate change.\u201d www.oxfam.org<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Climate change will displace many in low-lying coastal urban areas \u2013 South, South East and East Asia, Africa and small islands are the most vulnerable.[62. IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007. Chapter 6. \u201cCoastal systems and low-lying areas.\u201d www.ipcc.ch<\/a>] There are an estimated 26 million climate refugees, yet by 2050, 200 million people a year will be on the move due to hunger, environmental degradation and loss of land due to climate change.[63. Oxfam Australia. \u201cImpacts of climate change.\u201d www.oxfam.org<\/a>] And coastal populations are expected to grow to more than 5 billion by 2080.<\/p>\n

None of us are immune to the impacts of climate change: changes in temperature, precipitation and storms, the rising of sea level, melting glaciers, shifting ecosystems, and the depletion of agriculture, and forestry. There are immeasurable ways the shifts to our planet and environment are affecting our daily lives \u2013 that is why we must look beyond instant gratification towards the long-term preservation of planet earth.<\/p>\n

The most noticeable impact of climate change on people worldwide has been extreme weather\u2014such as floods, drought, heat stress and intense storms. Extreme weather is wreaking havoc across the globe, giving monsoon soaked countries a double wallop and hitting areas least expected like Britain and New York.<\/p>\n

If our current rates of climate change continue we can expect more temperature extremes, heat waves, increased intensity of heavy rain and snow falls, changes in amount of rain and snow per year, changes in wind and temperature patterns, increased intensity of tropical storms and extreme storms moving towards the poles.[64.

Polar bears need sea ice to hunt for food. In areas where the sea ice melts completely each summer, polar bears are forced to spend several months on land surviving on stored fat reserves. In the Hudson each year there is less sea ice around for a shorter amount of time. Arctic habitats will be shifting in size and location due to rising seas \u2013 the southern habitats will be moving north (e.g., boreal forest) but northern habitats will have nowhere to go but disappear.
