More frequent heat waves in store ...
| Quote From Source: | Climate scientists almost universally agree that the Earth is warming and that the trend is due at least in part to human activity. Global warming is described as a worldwide rise in temperatures caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses.
The world is on average 1.4 degrees Farenheit warmer now than in 1900, and that warming trend has increased since the 1970s. The five warmest years in the last 100 have all occurred since 1998, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
And the first six months of 2006 were the hottest in the continental United States since recordkeeping began in 1895, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
