Document Summary
Lecture 1: climate change = just one of the parameters of global change inc science and evidence has shown a fast rate in global mean temp inc (with a huge inc in temp after wwii era (industrial shit)) 2 criteria/drivers to describe global change: direct impacts of global scale changes to fluid envelopes of planet atmospheric change. 5 major global change drivers on the biodiversity of earth ordered in what will be the greatest drivers by 2100. Note: this is for the globe; regionally, drivers will have more or less of an effect. Note: not the greatest threat to biodiversity (land use is) 3. terrestrial eutrophication (mainly n2) huge impact on biosphere invasion by exotic species/biotic exchange. 4: atmospheric co2 enrichment direct impact on organisms (photosynthesis, ect), effects on transpiration, ect. 9 planetary boundaries climate biodiversity loss, n cycle, climate change, o3 depletion, ocean acidification, water use, p cycle, land use change, chemical pollution and atmospheric aerosol loading.
