New research shows that we should be looking to the ground, not the sky, to see where climate change could have its most perilous impact on life on Earth. And scientists have discovered that some of their computer climate models?the ones that analyze dirt?may be overestimating global warming predictions.

We can’t blame the sun (especially not now), so who CAN we blame? The answer, alas, is us.
In 2007, a report by the UN showed strong scientific evidence that climate change is mostly due to human activities, but they weren’t able to prove that the same thing has caused the melting poles (which could lead to a devastating sea level rise). Now they are.
