de Saint-Exupery T e global climate is changing. During the last
100 years warming has been observed in all continents with an
average increase of 0. 6 +- 0. 2 C (man +- SD) in the course of the
20th century. T e greatest temperature changes occurred at middle
and high latitudes in the northern hemispheres. T e trend towards
warmer average surface temperatures for the period since 1976 is
roughly three times that of the past 100 years as a whole. In the
last decades warming seems to be attributable to human activities
(man-made environmental changes) like land-use changes,
deforestation, urbanisation and the reduction of wetlands. Global
climate change is likely to be accompanied by an increase in
frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.
