Global Warming is Upon Us
In an article of the Guardian, Mark Townsend and Paul Harris reveal details from a secret Pentagon report painting a dramatic future.

BBC reported that according to a new report by the Queensland University's Centre for Marine Studies, the Great Barrier Reef will be largely destroyed by 2050 because of rising sea temperatures. Scientist found little evidence that corrals could adapt quickly enough to cope with even the lowest projected temperature rise of 2 degrees centigrade.
