"Most climate scientists today [2005] agree that Earth's climate is warming and changing as a result of human activity, and that the projected changes in coming decades will affect nearly all parts of the globe. This combination of exceptional risk and uncertainty has led to a lack of clear consensus among policy makers on how to address the global warming crisis." (ORION) This article describes calamities such as extended drought and rising ocean levels that may befall us if nothing is done about the continuing problem of global warming.
