Climate“There is no longer any credible scientific debate about the basic facts:
our world continues to warm, with the last decade the hottest in modern records
deep oceans warming faster than the earth’s atmosphere Sea level is rising Arctic Sea ice is melting years faster than projected
4 past EPA Administrators 8/1/13
Is human activity a substantial cause of global climate change?
