The 2007 climate report was wrong about Himalayan glaciers:
They will not disappear soon, says a 2014 report. But what do we know
that we didn't know then?
NASA is monitoring a chunk of sea ice 10 times the size of
Manhattan, which broke off from Antarctica.
Some effects of the long-lasting, sub-freezing temperatures
are only now becoming apparent. One surprise was the discovery that
starving rats in New York City had attacked the trees in urban parks for
sustenance.
Antarctica enjoyed California-like temperatures 50 to 40
million years ago. This temperate climate shows us how the greenhouse
effect can alter the Earth.
