The consequences of the increase in global temperature:

The consequences of an increase in global temperature are enormous: The continuing decrease of glaciers in mountainous regions and the ice in the Arctic will cause the extinction of many species, and it will also have a great impact on agricultural yields. The increase in global temperature might also be the cause for recent extreme weather events worldwide. We have experienced, more frequent than usual, damaging hurricanes and tropical storms during the last decade.

Even though most scientists are worried and have given several recommendations to the politicians, then really effective steps remain yet to be taken. The present Kyoto Protocol about environmental precautions has been signed by many governments, but it has not been ratified by all, and fewer are actually complying with the agreed intentions of the Kyoto Protocol. In particular, it has been damaging for the world’s climate that the USA continue to refuse to ratify the agreement, and it is obvious that the USA is contributing to the problem by a major share of the global emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses.
