According to a new study published in Nature Geoscience, we are currently in a period of climactic transition, where human influences may have significantly intensified the climate. This is known as Anthropogenic Climatic Modification (ACE). It means that we have been steadily warming, but in a manner that has not been observed over the last 15 to 25 years.
The authors point out that in terms of total temperature, the climate is very close to a state of "adaptation," where the climate has already been adapted to the change of CO 2 concentration. As this warming continues, however, the ocean will be more exposed to the same "adaptation" process — if they do not cool down soon and we see rapid sea level rise — and thus we will see more extreme weather, more extreme weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes.
The authors note that, while the changes may be dramatic, they do not have the potential to be catastrophic.
"By the end of this century, we could see an extensive rise in extreme weather events like floods and droughts, coupled with an increase in extreme cold, which may also create a situation where the atmosphere can no longer withstand an atmosphere warmer than that in the late 1990s, which in our case would mean CO 2 concentrations would rise above about 280 parts per million," the authors write.
With so much attention being paid to "smart" buildings with computer algorithms to "solve" the Earth's climate, the scientists said this is a mistake.
"The notion that one can'solve' Earth's climate is highly misleading, as both the scientific community and policy makers need to make a critical assessment of the impacts of climate change and the various climate policies that might be considered," said Chris Field, a co-author of the study from Cambridge University. "While climate is a complex process, its impacts on climate are not simple and can be mitigated — but not entirely eradicated — by reducing, rather than increasing, consumption of CO 2 and CO 2 emissions," Field added. "Climate change, while certainly real, will not disappear by itself and in time."
While this is indeed an urgent issue, Field noted that we must also be focused on understanding the broader, regional effects, such as how changing winds and temperatures will affect the water cycle, sea ice, and global climate.
"The study has implications for our understanding of the whole issue of the global climate system, as changing weather and climate is the 'tipping point' in determining overall weather and climate," he said. "This article is the first to outline the wide range of impacts, and to illustrat

Traditional owners henbury station at his own expense for two years, but his owner has since bought the property
But the judge told the men he had 'no intention of letting them go'.
'I can understand how he would feel a reluctance to release them,' he said. 'There are many people and some are very vulnerable.
'We know that he must be distressed and has lived in fear for some time. He must have some form of a sense of dignity with the place and property in which he now lives.'
The judge handed the men five years' imprisonment for each of their offending charges while he also ordered the property to be forfeited in their cases.
Sentencing them to a minimum of four years' imprisonment, the judge said: 'In the event your convictions are quashed, you would go into the property of other people and have the right to take ownership of it if needed.'
The men have admitted four offences.
Judge Bercow said they had done a 'courageous' job to ensure the property was protected.
He added: 'You have committed no wrong and have acted at an extremely careful and controlled pace in keeping the property safe.
'Although you have spent time in detention, it has been an immensely positive experience.
'You have been taken aback by what I have experienced in being the first to deal with such a violent crime and have suffered with the legal consequences of having been in court.'
He warned: 'You have clearly shown no intent of letting go and you have now realised the law does have consequences.
'We are now considering the full consequences of each individual offending charge and the sentence they face.'
The men, who were born in England but have lived in France since they were young, will be kept in segregation for the remainder of their sentences.
