Sažetak
The idea of “ climate change” has become widely synonymous with that of “ global warming” . This is paradoxically, construed in a very negative way as inevitably catastrophic, even in “ cold” countries like Canada and Finland. There is much confusion about this subject. We can’ t really know the weather will like more than few days ahead! Real question is how reliable are all our predictions about climate changes in the future. But now, it is unhesitatingly claimed, we can predict weather and climate as far ahead as the year 2100, from our viewpoint a century earlier. Until about 1800, internal climate system variability and natural forcing such as volcanic eruptions and solar variability are able to account for the reconstructed climate variations. In contrast, natural causes are unable to explain the recent warming ; no explanation seems to fit the bill except the rise in greenhouse gas concentration. Global warming could be a very dangerous myth! Human beings should prepare for unsafe and unpredictable future caused by many other, than global warming, reasons.
