Scientists claim the Earth's atmospheric temperature has been rising over the past 100 years, Antarctic ice is melting faster, and sea levels have risen swiftly in the last 40 years. If correct, 25% of Florida could flood, along with other low-lying areas globally, and agriculture could be widely disrupted, potentially moving the American farm belt to Canada.
These changes are blamed on carbon dioxide, which traps heat like a greenhouse. Scientists maintain that burning coal, oil, and gas for a century has increased carbon dioxide, overheating the Earth.
Some political leaders support more carbon dioxide monitoring stations and share scientists' anger over Reagan administration budget cuts, hindering research to determine the accuracy of these alarming assessments. The findings could affect millions and the survival of cities.
