Rail lines have been shut down in England due to fears of the steel rails buckling. Italy has had many heat-related deaths. The US has had many temperature records set in cities in the last 2 years. There is that video of a YOUNG UPS driver delivering a package to a home and then collapsing due to the heat. Glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate and also oceans are rising and worrying scientists, who are trying to warn US citizens that they are leaving a mess for their grandchildren.
.......A US heat map shows Florida in orange while Texas, Oklahoma, and other midwestern states are shown in dark RED indicating extreme HEAT and DANGER for outdoor activity. And in Texas, the indoor use of A/C is once again threatening the breakdown of the electrical grid. Florida has to worry about increasingly strong hurricanes for the next months due to the high temperatures of the surrounding water.
......All these facts and many more make it hard for me to NOT come to the conclusion that the globe is dangerously WARMING.
