ICES status report on climate change in the North Atlantic
2011
Although the physical and chemical principles that explain the warming of the
Earth’s system resulting from emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases were
understood at the end of the 19th century (Tyndall, 1861; Arrhenius, 1896) and at the
beginning of the 20th century (Callendar, 1938), it was almost 100 years later, in the
mid‐1980s, before it was realized that these processes were contributing to a rapid
change in climate. The potential consequences of this global warming have still to be
revealed and are difficult to anticipate.
