Global warming has only begun accelerating in the past few decades, but this does not meant that its effects were not visible long before that. This was confirmed in a new study, which showed that the world's oceans have been getting warmer for more than a century,
What this research suggests is that climate ch... |

A new investigation analyzing how fast global warming is changing Earth's climate suggests that average temperatures on our planet could increase by 1.4 to 3 degrees Celsius, from values recorded just a few decades ago, by 2050.
Previously, it was though that such warming would occur within a century, but the n... |
