Global Warming - The Evidence Mounts:
- 2004 was the fourth warmest year on record. The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990!
- Record heat waves responsible for some 26,000 deaths battered Europe in the summer of 2003 -- the hottest on the continent since Shakespeare’s time at least. The scorching temperatures caused over $16 billion in damages to agriculture and other industries. Global warming has doubled the risk of events like the 2003 heat wave, according to a recent paper published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature.
- A massive ice shelf the size of Rhode Island broke off from Antarctica in 2002. Rapidly warming temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula were blamed for the loss of the Larsen B Ice Shelf.
- Alaska’s worse fire year on record was 2004. A total of 703 fires consumed over 6.5 million acres of forest, an area the size of Maryland. Global warming will increase the risk of more intense, destructive wildfires.
