My point in placing this thread in GD was to highlight the actual phenomenon, not to explain the cause. Truly, had that been the intent Politics would have been a far more fitting place to post. As I personally feel this is real, and occuring at a rate measured in Human lifespan, rather than centuries or thousands of years, I wanted to get people discussing the effects it is likely to have, and discuss adaptation of the species in the long run.
There is speculation within the science community as to what we will see in the coming decades, and some go so far as to predict actual baseline temperature change for areas of the Earth. They are likely inaccurate as the climate of the Earth has so many variables it borders on Kaos theory. What promted me to post this, and begin the discussion was an article I read which compared the temps in my location to the current heat index of Georgia over the next twenty years. It also went on to predict the Temps in Georgia at that time, and I felt Very Bad for Shanifaye.
In other words, I was forced to look at this from a more serious, and personal viewpoint, which led me to scour sources of Data to verify aspects of the article. The result of this was a new concern, and belief that it is occuring right now....paranoia or not.
