Scientists warn Congress on real greenhouse warming threat
Washington scientists led by James Hansen and Robert Watson told a Senate subcommittee that man made emissions have made the greenhouse effect a real, looming danger with global temperatures rising about 2 degrees in two decades and sea levels climbing. They warned of floods, droughts, skin cancer risks, and drastic coastal erosion if no action is taken, noting Antarctic ozone loss and a potential 500 to 1,000 year outlook for extreme warming.
