Global Warming -- Signed, Sealed and Delivered - Los Angeles Times
With temperatures this year being the hottest on record in the United States, with heat waves sweeping throughout Europe even causing the pavement to melt in the UK, and record electricity demand for air conditioning causing blackouts in California, we can see global warming in action. These heat waves are killing people and power companies are struggling to meet the surging demand for electricity to keep people cool. This is only the beginning of things to come.
Yet there are a few voices out there that are still denying that global warming is happening. This history of science professor tells us that there is no longer any debate on the issue in the scientific community: it is accepted that global warming is happening and that it is caused by human activities. But there will always be a few stubborn people unwilling to change their views in spite of overwhelming evidence. That is the history of science. However, it is dangerous for us to ignore the evidence. We must act now to address this problem before it is too late.
