"I'm melting! I'm melting!"
According to this report, the world is coming to an end more rapidly than anyone anticipated. The report said the output of man-made carbon dioxide increased 3 percent between 2006 and 2007, which is higher than what leading scientists have referred to as the "worst-case scenario." One scientist forecast this increase would raise global temperatures by more than 11 degrees. An increase of only 3.2 to 9.7 degrees "could trigger massive environmental changes, including melting of the Greenland ice sheet, the Himalayan-Tibetan glaciers and summer sea ice in the Arctic." The only positive I can see out of this is that we may soon be able to purchase beachfront property in Dallas.
