Abstract:

Global climate change may be one of the main problems of the 21st century. Many simulations models are used to predict increasing global temperature, increasing carbon dioxide, shifts in weather patterns and irreversible rise in sea levels. We will review some of the scientific models, the global impact of climate changes on the environment, society, transportation systems and infrastructure, with some case studies. The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a U.N. body will be discussed.
