Abstrakt: This article discusses the varied effects of global warming on the climate. Huge storms, such as Cyclone Larry in Australia and Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, display the immediate and disastrous effects of changes in the environment due to global warming. Rapid polar ice melting and rising sea levels are occurring faster than environmentalists and lawmakers have predicted. Hotter summers and winters have also reduced the amount of snowfall, and, in turn, the amount of meltwater in the spring. INSET: SEEING THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION.
