Abstract
Technical feature:Ways in which human activity affect climate changes are examined. The release of radioactive krypton-85 from nuclear reactors and fuel reprocessing plants, release of aerosols, and release of heat through thermal pollution are all major influences on climate. The buildup of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel combustion is the largest single factor that contributes to warming trends in climate. By the end of the century, the earth's average surface temperature will be warmer than at any time in the past 1000 years or more and will still be rising. The implications of a warmer earth and the effect warmer climate will have on ice masses are discussed. (1 diagram, 1 graph, 1 map, 1 photo, 21 references, 1 table)
