In line with my support to 60 earth Hour which will happen on March 28, 2009 (8:30pm - 9:30pm - Philippine time), I have here some facts regarding global warming which comes from national geographic:

• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.

The effect of global warming is alarming, if we are not going to take any actions regarding this matter it could be too late not only for us but for the next generation. Process of recovery from this effect will takes time, some says that the period for earth to recover is 20x slower than the speed of destruction caused by Global warming. Let us support 60 EARTH HOUR ... let us support planet EARTH.
