Since then, the concept of climate change and global warming continued to develop. Currently, climate scientists have high confidence that Earth's changing climate is expected to make our planet warmer, raise sea level and influence precipitation patterns. In many regions across the globe, changes in extreme weather related events, such as floods, storms, heat waves and droughts are already been observed. However, there are uncertainties about the spatial and temporal patterns of temperature and precipitation, intensities and frequencies of droughts, cyclones and floods. The extent to which our planet's future climate will shift due to the influences of anthropogenic activities remains unclear. Social science research indicates that the most common misconception about climate change is that it is a new concept and that the threat of global warming began toward the end of the 20th century.
