For nearly forty years, the world's ecologists, climatologists, geologists, and scientists have been ringing the alarm bells regarding the consequences of global warming.
Unfortunately, most of the politicians, and world leaders of our planet, refused to take those warnings seriously. Now that we have reached the point of no return, some politicians and world leaders decided to do something about the problem.
What brought about this change of heart?
For the last eight years, most of the scientific predictions regarding global-warming, have come true. The polar ice is slowly melting, the glaciers are slowly melting, the permafrost is slowly melting, Greenland is slowly melting, thousands of giant icebergs are slowly melting, many small islands are permanently inundated, forcing the affected islanders to abandon their homes and seek asylum in neighboring countries.
Extreme weather is becoming more and more frequent. Storms, wild fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, prolonged droughts, cyclones, and other natural disasters, occur more frequently than in the past.
