There’s no doubt global warming is happening but is it natural or "man-made". One thing’s for sure: I’m not going to wait and see what happens. Prevention is the cure.

This data has been recorded by the Aqua satellite with the AMSR-E module. More information along with a neat January 1, 2007 - September 14th time lapse movie of the same region can be found on NASA’s website.
