Global Warming Undeniable

Ten key indicators show global warming "undeniable"

Click "Ten key" above for full Yahoo News article
begin quote from above article
"The 10 key planet-wide indicators of a warming climate identified by the report are:
-- Higher temperatures over land
-- Higher temperatures over oceans
-- Higher ocean heat content
-- Higher near-surface air temperatures (temperatures in the troposphere, where Earth's weather occurs)
-- Higher humidity
-- Higher sea surface temperatures
-- Higher sea levels
-- Less sea ice
-- Less snow cover
-- Shrinking glaciers"
end quote.
The good news is that there is now a northwest passage between Canada and the North Pole for ships to travel many months of the year. The bad news is multiple: melting tundra, melting glaciers, melting ice caps (seasonally) melting glaciers worldwide (seasonally), higher sea levels, higher surface both land and sea temperatures. Oh, and I heard that Moscow has just had it's hottest week temperature wise ever in history.
