”This year the weather is very weird, there are no more seasons!”
How many times does one hear this sentence! As for myself, I’ve heard it so many times, I think every year or even at every season’s change, to the point that I’m not even paying attention to it anymore. But climate change is a reality!

Here’s an extract of the eRenlai’s summary of the report, which also gives you access to the PDF version of the whole document:
- “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global sea level.
- Eleven of the last twelve years (1995 -2006) rank among the 12 warmest years in the record of global surface temperature (since 1850). The 100-year trend (1906–2005) is larger than the corresponding trend for 1901-2000. The warming trend over the last 50 years is nearly twice that for the last 100 years. The total temperature increase from 1850–1899 to 2001– 005 is 0.76 C.”
