Just read Art Hall's column on global warming and find his views far from the truth. The glaciers are melting at rates never seen before. Atmospheric temperatures are many degrees higher on average, ocean temperatures are higher on average. Carbon dioxide in the air is the highest ever (check out 350.org). Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and the pH of the oceans is turning acidic, greatly affecting all sea animals, especially those that have calcium shells. Big problems for us all, especially those in coastal areas.
