Global Climate Change Article

This article found that the average temperature has risen about 0.2˚C each decade in the past 30 years. It affirms that this rate of global warming is extremely dangerous. If this rate continues, sea levels will rise, CO2 levels will increase, and our planet will be in serious danger. The temperature of the Pacific surface waters is within 1˚C of its highest temperature within the past 1000 years. The article warns that stronger El Ninos will result from such warming, and many species will go extinct.
