7 Places Global Warming is Smacking the Crap Out of the Earth Right Now


Droughts. Hurricanes. Floods. Monsoons. Disappearing coastlines. These are just a few of the weather effects we’re currently experiencing and will see more of in the future, courtesy of global warming. And they aren’t pretty – they lead to destruction, injury and the death of millions of people, not to mention the effects on the earth’s ecosystems. Scientists are noting more weather disturbances than ever, and it’s only going to get worse. Right now, in seven places across the globe, people are already dealing with the frightening effects of global warming, from India to Alaska. It’s a foreboding sign of what may be to come for the entire world as we battle global warming and experience its full effects.

1. Yikes!
Looks like the ice in that top-right photo melted so fast it left a researcher walking in mid-air, Wile E. Coyote style.

2. I heard a few years ago about places in Australia
The government said that the word "drought" was meaningless in certain areas.

That areas without rain were now said to be "normal" because rain was practically non-existent in those areas, where before they were habitable ranch lands.
