Best Global Warming Journals

Glaciers melt, sea levels rise, cloud forests die and wildlife scrambles to keep pace. It has become apparent that humans caused most of the warming of the past century by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are now higher than in the last 800,000 years, at any time. We often call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth's climate. Climate change not only includes rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting populations and habitats of wildlife, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. All of those changes are emerging as humans continue to add greenhouse gases to the air, changing the climate that all living things have come to live with. What are we going to do — what are we going to do — to slow down that warming caused by man? How are we going to cope with the changes that we have already put in motion? While we are struggling to figure it all out, the Earth's destiny as we know it — coasts, forests, farms and snow-capped mountains — hangs in balance.
