... Celsius (over a span of years), it may seem infinitesimal. However, when this temperature change is compared to the temperature change from that of the ice age, it seems significant. What I mean to say is that, it is evident that the global temperature have been rising more rapidly than the past ... goes on and on. In his book 'Global Warming', Michael Anderson states that the IPCC has projected that the artic could have a complete ice-free summer by the year 2070. Another recent study projects that this could happen decades earlier. An example of melting glaciers is Montana glacier...

In addition, studies done on tree rings, corals, ice cores, and historical data prove that the 1990's are the warmest decade in at least the last 1000 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change foresees an increase of one ... to 1140 in an average summer in 2050.

... warming, the decade of the 1980's has had the six hottest years of the century (Erandson 18-22). Atmospheric disturbances brought on by the additional warming will produce more violent storms and larger death tolls. Some areas, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, will dry out and a greater occurrence of lightning strikes will set massive forest fires. The charring of the Earth ... once productive cropland could lose topsoil and become man-made deserts.
