The Earth's climate is currently undergoing rapid changes, with significant implications for the planet's future from "summary" of Earth System Science by Timothy Lenton

The Earth's climate is currently undergoing rapid changes, with significant implications for the planet's future. These changes are driven primarily by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, leading to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing a warming effect known as global warming. As a result of global warming, we are experiencing a variety of impacts on the Earth's climate system. These include rising temperatures, melting ice caps and glaciers, sea level rise, changes in precipitation patterns, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. These changes have wide-ranging consequences for human societies, including threats to food and water security, increas...
