- The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in the last 400 years! According to a number of climate studies, this may be the warmest temperatures we'll be seeing for at least a Milena!
- The Arctic are feeling the effects most. The temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen twice the global average.
- Some experts point out that sometimes natural cycles in Earth's orbit can alter the planet's exposure to sunlight. This is why earth is experiencing cooling's and warming's roughly every hundred thousand years, but now they are occurring within the span of several centuries.

Some quotes about Global Warming!
Today we're seeing that climate change is about more than a few unseasonably mild winters or hot summers. It's about the chain of natural catastrophes and devastating weather patterns that global warming is beginning to set off around the world.. the frequency and intensity of which are breaking records thousands of years old.
Barack Obama
We are upsetting the atmosphere upon which all life depends. In the late 80s when I began to take climate change seriously, we referred to global warming as a "slow motion catastrophe" one we expected to kick in perhaps generations later. Instead, the signs of change have accelerated alarmingly.
David Suzuki
Global warming is one of those things, not like an earthquake where there's a big bang and you say, 'Oh, my God, this is really, has hit us.' It creeps up on you. Half a degree temperature difference from one year to the next, a little bit of rise of the ocean, a little bit of melting of the glaciers, and then all of a sudden it is too late to do something about it.
