    This document provides an outline and summary of key points from Lecture 7 on climate change. The lecture covers: 1) climate variations and the impact of volcanic eruptions on global temperatures over the past 1000 years, 2) greenhouse gases and anthropogenic forcing as key factors influencing temperatures over the past 100 years and predicted changes, 3) impacts on low-lying areas such as sea level rise impacting Bangladesh, and 4) impacts on the Arctic including declining snow cover and sea ice along with consequences for permafrost and indigenous people. The conclusion emphasizes that greenhouse gas concentrations are now above pre-industrial levels due to human activity and global temperatures are projected to rise significantly by 2100 if emissions continue.
