Big wake-up to globalย warming

To illustrate, the Philadelphia Inquirer tracked the number of times the term โ€œglobal warmingโ€ was mentioned in their paper over the years. In 2007 โ€œglobal warmingโ€ was mentioned over 400 times, more than double any previousย year.

An attitude shift as inexorable as global warming itself this year brought world groups together to debateย risks.

โ€œThis was the year that global warming hit the mass radar screen, driven by a drumbeat of catastrophic predictions from top scientists, a jaw-dropping acceleration in polar ice meltโ€ฆโ€
