Reaping the Whirlwind: Extreme weather prompts unprecedented global warming alert
Quote:
Apparently this report is a bit of a shocker because the World Meteorological Organization is "an impeccably respected UN organisation that is not given to hyperbole."
The weather here (NY) has been truly crazy since November this year (astounding amounts of snow in the winter and astounding amounts of rain this spring), and I've been wondering all along whether this had something to do with global warming.
The future of this world looks bleak to me.

In a startling report, the WMO [World Meteorological Organization] , which normally produces detailed scientific reports and staid statistics at the year's end, highlighted record extremes in weather and climate occurring all over the world in recent weeks, from Switzerland's hottest-ever June to a record month for tornadoes in the United States - and linked them to climate change. |
