sorts of questions being asked until fairly recently. Now, however, it seems clear that global warming is real, and that it could present a serious problem. The question remains, though,
just how serious and how long we have to correct our mistakes. Discussion Almost all the sources say the same thing: global warming is real it is causing various climate
changes, including the melting of the polar ice caps, with a resulting rise in the sea level. In 2004, a report in National Geographic News said that scientists agreed that
"global warming presents the greatest threat to the environment" (Lovgren, 2004). The temperature world-wide has increased by about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degrees Celsius) in the last century (Lovgren, 2004).
This doesnt sound like much, but it has triggered dramatic changes, such as Mt. Kilimanjaros melting ice cap, and the loss of coral reefs as the seas warm up (Lovgren,
2004). But most scientists warn that the biggest danger is the rise of sea levels around the world (Lovgren, 2004). "Thermal expansion has already raised the oceans 4 to 8
inches (10 to 20 centimeters)" (Lovgren, 2004). But if Greenland were to lose its ice sheet, the "consequences would be catastrophic" (Lovgren, 2004). Jonathan Overpeck, who is the director of
the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and his colleagues have developed computer models to show what would happen to coastal cities
and island countries in certain conditions, and the results are alarming (Lovgren, 2004). The simulations show that a three-foot rise in the sea level "would swamp cities all along the
U.S. eastern seaboard. A 6-meter (20-foot) sea level rise would submerge a large part of Florida" (Lovgren, 2004). While the fact of global warming seems apparent, the cause is not.
