Page 338 of the text book has a whole box on the scientific consensus on climate change. It mainly talks about global warming and how it affects a change in climate.  It has been proven that the global climate is definitely warming. The box mentions the main reason of this warming stems from the increase in human-produced greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. The warming of temperature have been the cause of increases in floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires. It is also indirectly related to an increase intensity of tropical storms, like the Tsunami in Japan!!

This website has several graphs showing in the increase in average temperature of the past century, the increase in CO2 levels and also the increase in human population

Global warming will continue to become more of a problem if humanity continues to follow the path they are on. Fortunately, many organizations have recognized the growing epidemic and have been striving to correct mankind's mistakes. The following website lists several major companies all making changes to reduce power demands and using technology to create energy efficiencies.
