Climate Change

Last week, scientists found that a large chunk of the artic ice shelf recently broke off near the Canadian coast.

The current warming being experienced in the Arctic means the conditions needed to rebuild the shelves simply does not exist...

...Further loss of Arctic ice will see radiation absorbed by darker seawater and snow free land, potentially warming the Earth's climate at an even faster rate than current observational data indicates.

Yikes! There still seems to be a delusion to the effects of global warming, by many nay-sayers. As if the large, unseasonal, and deterious effects of extreme weather events in recent years hasn't clued them in, we can take a look at daily news from around the world to see the obvious effects of global warming/climate change.

Some examples of detrimental effects of climate change worldwide:

* The effects of climate change can be easily seen across the continent of Africa.

* Lake Victoria suffering from pollution, over-fishing and climate change.

* Food and water shortages in Nairobi.

* Severe and constant flooding in Bangladesh. (Although the UN contends that it's not so bad because sediment deposits are creating more land. Yeah, that totally makes up for the illness, homelessness and poverty caused by the increased levels of water?)

* Desertification in Burkina Faso.

* Coral Reef destruction in Central America.

* Flooding in Ukraine and Romania.
