根据一些关于全球气温历史演变的研究和科学报告，已经确定气候变化倾向于变暖。政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)现在宣布“气候系统变暖是明确的，这一点现在从全球平均气温和海洋温度上升、冰雪普遍融化和全球平均海平面上升的观测中可见一斑”(IPCC 2007：30)。全球变暖已成为对世界所有区域可持续发展和增长的重大威胁，特别是在非洲，正如这项工作所表明的那样。
Based on a number of studies and scientific reports on the historical evolution of global temperatures, it has been determined that climatic change is inclined toward warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has now declared that “warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level” (IPCC 2007: 30). This global warming has become a major threat to sustainable development and growth in all regions around the world, and particularly so in Africa as this work demonstrates.
