This document discusses climate change science and ethical implications. It provides an overview of climate change observations and predictions, including increasing global temperatures and greenhouse gas levels. Projections include further warming, sea level rise, and more extreme weather events by 2100. Ethical issues discussed are responsibility for emissions and impacts, with developing nations most vulnerable despite contributing least to the problem. The document summarizes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments and Kyoto Protocol. U.S. policy rejects mandatory emissions limits unlike the Kyoto approach.
