Another scientist warns the public

[Guest guest]

" Global warming is already starting, and there's going to be more of

it, " NASA scientist James Hansen said Jan. 9, 2007, at an annual

gathering of meteorologists in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. " I think there

is still time to deal with global warming, but we need to act soon.

Humans now control global climate, for better or worse. "

 

Hansen said the effects of global warming are being felt around the

world and unless international efforts are launched within the next

10 years, species will disappear and the Earth will be a vastly less

habitable planet by the end of the century.

 

The NASA scientist added that after the warming of the past three

decades, the world is within 1 degree Celsius of its warmest period

in the past 400,000 years. He predicted that if greenhouse gas

emissions continue at the same rate, the warming this century will

approach 3 degrees Celsius, or about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Hansen

forecast that such a change would eliminate up to half the species

on Earth and would melt polar ice caps. Subsequently rising ocean

levels would inundate Florida, most of Louisiana and much of the

East Coast, according to the scientist.

 

How many scientists have to say this before people see that we're

not just crying wolf, that a climate change crisis is indeed taking

place. Yes, we need to sound the alarms and start taking action.
