Facts That Hurt

- There’s a rapid change of weather right now. If it won’t be discussed, what’s the future of the world by just waiting? WHEN WILL WE ACT? WHEN WILL WE REACT?

Know that:

• the scientific community has been investigating the link between CO2 and global warming for more than 175 years? Scientists are born skeptics, and by no means accepted the theory as fact the first time it was proposed.

• The most recent scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also notes with concern that the ocean is acidifying because of increased absorption of atmospheric CO2, and thus posing a threat for shell-forming species, which are an essential part of the marine food web. Projected increases in carbon dioxide levels will cause further acidification of the ocean. (IPCC, 2007)

• The tropical animals (birds) are finding its way to Canada and more soon in the North. This is due to the prior climate change.

• Global warming doubles the number of hurricanes.

• 5 million children die per year due to environmental hazards (including polluted air or water, or exposure to chemicals.)

• Rising ozone levels stunt plant growth.

• Melting glaciers raise sea level more than polar ice sheets.

•July 15, 2007
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - British adventurer and swimmer Lewis Gordon Pugh last Sunday became the first person to swim in the icy waters of the North Pole, to raise awareness of how global warming is effecting the polar ice cap.

• Global warming causes gray whales to lose weight.

• Rising sea levels pose threat to rice.


• Polar bears are now drowning.

and more. Life is now threatened. Are we just going to wait for a blank future? Again, I'm asking you, when are you going to act?
