The 10 Hottest Years on Record Have All Occurred Since 1990
Al Gore gave a lecture at Stanford last week. Donnie Fowler has a recap here. More facts:
* The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990 and the worst hurricanes on record are occurring with more frequency than ever before.
* Animal species worldwide, from birds to amphibians to polar bears, already are exhibiting symptoms of disruption and harm, having dramatic effects on the food chain (of which we are a part) and the spread of diseases that even affect humans.
* Coral reefs, a fundamental building block of the oceans’ ecosystem, are becoming bleached from warmer, more acidic ocean water, and are dying at unprecedented rates.
* Of more than 600 peer-reviewed research publications, not a single one has disputed the view that global warming is real and measurable, but 53% of media stories continue to refer to global warming as an issue that is in dispute.
