Global Warming and Climate Change. Ameri Institute programs have achieved an international reputation as an effective and impartial forum for constructive dialogue on significant issues. The goal is to create a space where like-minded individuals can come together to work toward a greater good.
The Earth has warmed by an average of 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.78 degrees Celsius) from 1906 to 2005, with the rate of increase doubling in the second half of the 20th century. This trend is altering our planet’s fundamental processes by increasing ocean and air temperatures, altering precipitation patterns, and thawing permafrost and melting sea ice.
The implications of these changes include rising sea levels, eroded coastlines and communities pushed inland. Entire ecosystems are being affected as plants and animals struggle to adapt to rising temperatures. Such changes are particularly evident in the Arctic, where air temperatures have risen twice as fast as global temperatures, or by about 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) during the 20th century and are projected to increase another seven to twelve degrees Fahrenheit (four to seven degrees Celsius) in the next 100 years.
