United Nations Issues new Assessment on Climate

   In Stockholm, the United Nations issued the newest scientific study about global warming. In 2007 the U.N. sponsored panel said was "very Likely" that global warming was man-made. Now  they are saying that it is "Extremely likely" that it is manmade.

   In yesterdays release they stated "Our assessment of the science finds that the atmosphere and ocean have warmed the amount of snow and ice has diminished, the global mean sea level has risen and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased," said the co-chair of the working group that wrote the report.

   Nearly 200 governments have agreed to work out a U.N. deal by the end of 2015 to combat global warming, partly by shifting from fossil fuels towards renewable energies.

The ice at the North pole is 60% larger than last year. Sorry, no northern passageway this year. Those who lost their boat to ice, waiting for the northern passageway to open up, Sorry.

Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record large extent for a second straight year, baffling scientists seeking to understand why this ice is expanding rather than shrinking in a warming world.
