Description
Human activities could affect the change of climate either globally or in a region. These climate changes would have no direct effects on the repository, however, they might change recharge of aquifers and surface hydrology. The long-term impact of anthropogenic greenhouse gases on climate is unclear. However, the general consensus is that anthropogenically induced climate forcing may delay, but not prevent a next ice age.
