Type of article: Article

Summary

THE ARTICLE INCLUDES THE MAIN PART OF THE SYNOPSIS WRITTEN BY R. DAUTRAY OF A REPORT OF THE FRENCH ACADEMIE DES SCIENCES ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE AUGMENTATION OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT ON CLIMATE. WITH SOME RESERVATIONS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT DATA, THE REPORT PROPOSES SOME ELEMENTS CONCERNING INTENSITIES AND TIMETABLES OF PHENOMENA. IT REVIEWS THE FACTORS WHICH CAN ACT ON THE CLIMATE BUT FOCUSES ON THE SHORT-TERM AND HUMAN ONES, MAKING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN NATURAL VARIABILITY AND MODIFICATIONS DUE TO HUMAN ACTIVITY. IT THEN EXPLAINS CERTAIN RESPONSES OF THE EARTH SYSTEM (IE, ATMOSPHERE + OCEAN WITH ITS BIOSPHERE + SOLID EARTH WITH ITS BIOSPHERE + ICE SYSTEMS) TO THESE FACTORS, FOR PERIODS TILL THE END OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
