Lots of people have studied the climate all around the world. They've known for many years that climate change really was happening. They knew that it would be bad for people and much other life. And as more evidence piled in, it became obvious that it was mostly due to humans. As a result, all countries in the world came together in a big conference at Kyoto in Japan. Here they began to try and agree what to do about climate change. Lots of promises were made but countries haven't been very good at carrying them out. Since then, the evidence of change has become stronger and stronger. The special computer 'models' which scientists had used have become more and more accurate. The ice sheets in both the Artic and the Antarctica are melting, in some cases very fast. Sea levels are rising. Temperatures are rising, especially in the Arctic and Antarctic. Glaciers on other mountains of the world are melting very fast . Animals and plants which like warmer conditions are moving further north and south. Yes, it's happening all right NOW.
