World's Largest Science Group Chimes in on Climate Change

[Subdivisions]

Hope this isn't a dupe in GD. Every chance to reinforce the issue of Global Warming and keep the buzz going on it is imperative. Our children's lives (and maybe some of our lives, too) depend on US!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—The world's largest general scientific society on Sunday joined the concern over global climate change, calling it a "growing threat to society."

It is the first consensus statement of the board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on climate change. It comes just weeks after the International Panel on Climate Change issued its most recent report on human-induced warming.

"The evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now and is a growing threat to society,'' the AAAS said at its annual meeting.

"Scientists are observing the rapid melting of glaciers, destabilization of major ice sheets, rising sea levels, shifts in species ranges and increased frequency of weather extremes,'' said John P. Holdren, director of the Woods Hole Research Center and AAAS president.
