In their current state, STA are altering biological processes that are potentially very detrimental to biodiversity, helping the spread of disease through vector species, and causing an increase in extreme weather conditions that are damaging to populations and food production. Furthermore, surface temperature anomalies are also engaging in feedback cycles that are accelerating other aspects of climate change such as ablation of arctic ice. In order to reduce the negative impacts of human actions that are driving STA, world leaders and policymakers need to be engaging in global conversations with their populations, large corporations, and the scientific community so that new policies can be put in place that help mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases. By reducing global emissions of these harmful gases, not only will the frequency of anomalies stop increasing, but multiple other factors driving climate change will also be beneficially affected.
