      I believe it is happening, but we are also moving slowly to the next ice age. As a world, we need to stop thinking “this is my bit of land / sea” and start thinking “where should we all live to make the best of our planet, and help all the plants and animals survive”

      I completely agree with the theory, as I think the evidence for it is pretty clear:

      – The planet’s average surface temperature has risen by 1.1 degrees Celsius since the late 19th century.
      – The oceans are getting warmer.
      – Ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctic are getting smaller.
      – Sea levels are rising.
      – Extreme events like hurricanes are occurring more often.
