The document discusses the threats of global warming and calls individuals to take action. It notes that global warming is caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels. If no action is taken, rising temperatures will have devastating consequences like rising sea levels, habitat loss, and more intense natural disasters. However, individual and policy actions can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and safeguard the environment. The effects of climate change are already seen worldwide through impacts on species ranges, reproduction timing, and extinctions. Urgent action is needed to address this growing global challenge.

12. Global warming is the biggest environmental threat of our lifetime.
The time to act is now!
Global warming is the increase in Earth's surface temperatures. According to a recent report from the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the Earth's average surface temperature has increased 1.3 degrees F over the past 100 years.
Most scientists agree that this increase is caused by human activity - primarily the burning of fossil fuels. In fact, eleven of the
last twelve years rank among the warmest since temperatures were first recorded in the late 19th century.
.What may seem like a small temperature change has devastating consequences - rising sea levels, loss of Arctic habitat,
extinctions, increasingly intense hurricanes, and drought and famine.
Fortunately, we can make a difference. By taking individual action at home and promoting sound energy policy and legislation
in our communities, states and nation, we can help protect our global habitat — for birds, wildlife and our own future.
Leading scientists around the world agree that man-made greenhouse gases from fossil fuels are causing global warming.
Effects are already being seen worldwide. And long-term consequences are devastating, pointing to a darker future each day
we fail to act.
But if each of us takes action — in our homes, in our communities, and in our nation — there is still time to reduce global
warming pollution and help safeguard our environment for birds, wildlife, and our children.
MOUNTING SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING AFFECTING BIO DIVERSITY
Geographic range: The ranges of many plants and animals are moving toward the poles and toward higher elevations. For
example, the ranges of many British breeding birds were, on average, more than 11 miles farther north in the period from
1988-91 than they were in the period from 1968-72, according to comparisons derived from breeding bird atlases.
Reproduction timing: Egg-laying, flowering, and spawning are occurring earlier for many species, in some cases disrupting
delicate cycles that ensure that insects and other food are available for young animals. For example, Tree Swallows across
North America have advanced egg-laying by as many as nine days from 1959 to 1991.
Global warming causing extinction: Global warming is already causing extinctions in vulnerable species. Approximately 70
species of harlequin frogs in Central and South America have been driven to extinction by a disease that is linked with global
warming. Warmer temperatures cause increased cloud cover that creates ideal conditions for a fungus that kills the frogs.
This is only one cautionary example of how global warming disrupts the stability of ecosystems. Scientists predict 9-52% of
all terrestrial species (1 million plants and animals) will be on an irreversible path to extinction by 2050.
The planet's 25 biodiversity "hotspots" are especially vulnerable to climate impacts. These special places provide homes to
44% of the world's plants and 35% of its vertebrates, in less than 1.4% of its land area. A doubling of atmospheric carbon
dioxide, which estimates suggest could occur in about 100 years, could lead to extinction of as many as 43% of these areas'
endemic species.
Tropical forests cover 23 per cent of the Earth's land surface, but they are disappearing at a rate of 4.6 million hectares a year. Asia leads losses with 2.2
million hectares a year, Latin America and the Caribbean together lose 1.9 million and Africa loses 470,000 hectares of rain forest every year.

13. Not exactly for fun…can be threatening
Year 2200
(Roughly 200 years from now)
TNSE decided to junk the debate and serious science and take a lighter look at climate change and its
effects. It is pretty obvious to us that all of us are working rather quickly to make a hell hole out of this
planet. About two centuries from now, how successful will our efforts be?
Temperature:
Atleast 10c rise in the southern hemisphere and an over20c rise in the
northern hemisphere. A hot, hot world.
Sea Level:
As loving ancestors, buy the boats now, when they are cheap. At 80m up, a
watery world awaits your descendants
Animals:
Plenty of cockroaches, mosquitoes and other pesky creatures. Save pictures of
today's animals for posterity.
Plant:
All those weeds will have a ball, the nice ones like paddy and wheat will be
priced like truffles are today
Industry:
Develop a taste for seafood and teach your children the same. Jellyfish will be
aplenty, the Chinese are already eating them
Water:
Clean drinking water is at a premium. Cholera is common. Water is the burning
issue for wars and not religion.
Habitations
Floating houses are fashionable, but the sea sickness is terrible. Stilt houses
and mountain burrows are good options.
Replacing ten 100W light bulbs with CFLs reduces the same amount of carbon
dioxide that an SUV emits over a year over the course of the bulbs' lifetime!
The warmest 22 years ever recorded have happened within the last 25 years. The two warmest ever recorded, within the last three.

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is a 2006 documentary film, directed by
Davis Guggenheim, about former United States Vice President Al
Gore's campaign to educate citizens about global warming via a
comprehensive slide show. The documentary has been generally well-
received politically in many parts of the world and is credited for raising
further awareness of global warming internationally. Several colleges
and high schools have also begun to use the film in science curriculum.
In July 2007 47-country Internet survey conducted by The Nielsen
Company and Oxford University, sixty-six percent of viewers who
claimed to have seen An Inconvenient Truth said the film had “changed
their mind” about global warming and eighty-nine percent said
watching the movie made them more aware of the problem. Three out
of four (74%) viewers said they changed some of their habits as a result
of seeing the film.
THE 11th HOUR
Environmental documentary 11th HOUR resides at the polar
opposite of escapist summer fare, its mission to firmly confront
viewers about the indelible human footprint that humans have left
on this planet, and the catastrophic effects of environmental
neglect and abuse. Produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio,
and ably directed by Nadia Conners and Leila Conners Peterson,
the documentary doesn't get much fancier than talking heads,
news footage, and the occasional animated illustration, but its
message is potent and delivered effectively. If the "eleventh hour"
for our planet is drawing near, this admirable film points
confidently towards a new dawn.
The Age of Stupid is a 2009 British film by Franny
Armstrong, director of McLibel and founder of 10:10,
and first-time producer Lizzie Gillett. The film is a drama-
documentary-animation hybrid which stars Pete
Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated
world of 2055, watching archive footage from 2008 and
asking "Why didn't we stop climate change when we had
the chance?" .This motivates young minds to hold on a
green environment.
Our planet is losing forest at the staggering rate of a football-pitch sized area every second.
