Earth's climate is warming dramatically, and the signs are all around us, from vanishing glaciers to zombie viruses awakening in melting permafrost.
It's undeniable: Earth's climate is warming dramatically, and it is wreaking havoc on animals, plants and humans. And if people don't curb greenhouse gas emissions substantially — and fast — we could be barreling toward an even scarier future. From zombie viruses awakening to polar bears dumpster-diving, here are 10 signs Earth's climate is out of control.
3. Disappearing glaciersYellowstone and Yosemite, two of the most iconic national parks in the U.S., could completely lose their glaciers by 2050, a U.N. report has concluded. The changes aren't just about pretty photo ops; these icy regions provide crucial fresh water for local communities. By the end of the century, half of the world's ice cover could vanish if we don't reduce our emissions, the report found.
6. Worse weatherForget about a distant future with a chaotic climate; the weather is already getting worse thanks to climate change. A variety of studies have shown that the hots will get hotter, the colder places will get colder, droughts and flooding will be more severe, and hurricanes will have higher wind speeds and moisture. As if that weren't bad enough, swings between weather patterns will be more dramatic and unpredictable.
