In its annual report, the Bureau of Meteorology announced that last year was the hottest since records began in 1910. The report revealed that temperatures had remained consistently above average for most of the last ten years, and that this trend appeared to be in line with an increase in temperatures worldwide due to global warming:

As a book rose on the US bestseller lists claiming thatglobal warming was a “scam,” and conservative radio hostsnationwide began claiming that this year’s harsh wintermeant that the problem was ‘bunk,’ increasingly catastrophicsigns of impending sudden climate change continued to build.

During the second week of Feburary, a completelyunprecedented and unexplained heat wave struck Greenland.Already, melt off Greenland’s glaciers has reached recordproportions.

Spanish scientist Jesus Martinez-Frias says global warming may be to blame for the mysterious giant blocks of ice which fall from cloudless skies, crushing cars and houses. When these ice blocks started appearing a decade ago, it was thought they were frozen waste jettisoned from airplanes, but tests showed that wasn?t the source. “I’m not worried that a block of ice might fall on your head?but that great blocks of ice are forming where they shouldn’t exist,” he says. “Components of the atmosphere, like ozone and water, are changing in different levels of the atmosphere?We think these signs could be evidence of climate change.
