of Science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and "even, grudgingly, the Bush administration" have all expressed the belief that science supports that global warming is a reality (Schulte 34).
Human generated gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, have been indicated as the causes for this global effect (Schulte 34). Last year was the hottest year ever recorded and
scientific projections estimate that the average temperature will continue to escalate, "anywhere from 2.7 to 10.7 degrees F. over the next 100 years" (Schulte 34). Scientists have determined that the
