My principal purpose with "Global Warming: Are we entering the greenhouse century?" is to make the basic issues and policy implications of global atmospheric change more accessible to the public... Incidentally, to answer responsibly the question posed in the subtitle of this book takes eight chapters. But the one line response is simple: I believe we are already a decade or two into the greenhouse century; a decade or two more should prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. 3, record 1, English, - greenhouse%20century

À cause du phénomène de l'inertie thermique des océans, la confirmation de l'existence d'un réchauffement climatique pourrait coïncider avec l'arrivée du XXIe siècle. Le terme «siècle» prendrait alors aussi le sens plus restreint de «centaine d'années» définies par rapport au début de «ère chrétienne». 1, record 1, French, - si%C3%A8cle%20de%20l%27effet%20de%20serre
