• Arctic ice is disappearing at alarming rates. Indigenous wildlife, including polar bears and penguins are suffering from the loss of sea-ice.
• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting
  • In June 2007, Chile's Centre of Scientific Studies blamed global warming for the complete disappearance of a lake.
  • Montana's Glacier National Park is down to 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910.
• Coral reefs suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent.
• From the 2004 Tsunami, the California Wildfires, to the cyclones in Bangladesh, we are experiencing the upsurge of extreme weather events.
• Britain's Meteorological Office said there was a 60 percent probability that 2007 would break the record set by 1998, which was 1.20 degrees over the long-term average.

Unless drastic change comes soon, we will be seeing an even greater increase of weather disasters, disappearance of wildlife and habitat, and further depletion of natural resources.
