As we know, our earth atmosphere is melting away. Earth temperatures are warming as sea level rises. Above left picture is the Alaskan Muir Glacier taken on August 13, 1941; above right is taken from the same vantage point on August 31, 2004.
The two pictures is a result of CO2 and many other fossil fuel gases that are being abused in our Earths atmosphere. It only took approximately 63 years to cause this "melt down". That's how long it takes a tree to fully mature! The melting of sea glacier causes sea levels to rise and like a domino affect; it shifts the sea temperature causing other natural disasters such as hurricanes.
But what it really boils down to, are these disasters natural like we believe they ought to be? Or are we causing the disasters?
"Taken as a whole, these changes provide compelling evidence that increasing temperatures are affecting both ecosystems and human society." - Our Changing Climate
