The Last Frost

Some more info on the Fourth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:

"Each paragraph of this report was therefore argued over and scrutinised intensely. Only points that were considered indisputable survived this process. This is a very conservative document – that's what makes it so scary" [Guardian Unlimited]

The report suggests the following scenarios are extremely likely:

1. More intense storms  (not just hurricanes)
2. Sea level rise of a few feet
3. Melting of snow from all but the highest mountains.
4. Desertification will worsen.
5. Oceans will acidify, killing coral reefs.
6. Heatwaves will become more frequent.
7. Mass migrations of people and animals away from tropical regions will occur.

Global Warming the final verdict – [Guardian Unlimited]
