clipped from: www.climatecrisis.net The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence.1 The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.
We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.
| The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years.2 |
| Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level.3 |
| The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has more than doubled over the past decade.4 |
| At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.5 |
If the warming continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences.
