             people everywhere. Humans are warming the earth's atmosphere by burning
             fuels, cutting down forests, and by taking part in other activities that release
             certain heat- trapping gasses into the air. Humans all over the world need to
             get together and solve these problems. In the southern hemisphere, the
             warming is the greatest over Australia, southern south Africa, the southern tip
             of south America, and the area of Antarctica near Australia. In the northern
             hemisphere, warming is strongest in Alaska, northwest and eastern Canada,
             most of the Soviet Union, and parts of Southern Asia, North Africa and south
             west Europe. Climate has cooled in Great Britain and northern and eastern
             Europe. In the USA scientists found no overall warming trend in weather
             records kept since the nineteenth century, however keepin mind the United
             States covers only 1.5 percent of the earth's surface. As warming continues,
             every place on the earth will be effected. In the frozen heart of the last ice
             age, 18,000 years ago, the temperature was only about nine degrees
             Fahrenheit colder then today. So a change of a few degrees can have a
             dramatic effects. Todays most sophisticated climatic models estimate the
             global temperature will rise between 3 and 9 degrees Fahrenheit in the next
             century. This could occur as early as the year 2050. Here are the large scale
             changes the rise might bring: As water warms it expands, taking up more
             space. So warmer ocean water, with added melt-water from glaciers, will
             rise by twenty inches to five feet in the nex...
