Global warming: the CSSR reports
Global warming and the current situation of the climate in the United States territory are carefully monitored by a large number of experts, who, on behalf of the US government agency the Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) issue the Climate Science Special Report (CSSR) once every four years. This is one of the most comprehensive reports and includes extensive details of all climate changes currently underway.
Although the US Environmental Protection Agency and many other similar organisations continue to strongly deny the effects of global warming, the CSSR explains with great precision how that phenomenon is real and what its effects on the planet are; effects which (according to forecasts) can only get worse as the years go by, resulting above all in problems relating to the environment and the food supply.
According to the Climate Science Special Report in fact, the condition of the USA is just the same as that of all other nations around the world. Furthermore, at the present time, the US territory is showing clear signs of the early unmistakable consequences of global warming. So what is the main cause of this situation and who must take chief responsibility for it?
According to researchers, the climatic changes witnessed in the last decades derive above all from human actions and their many related activities. The most important of these is definitely the emission of greenhouse gases, which is gradually leading to an ever increasing transformation of global temperatures (as documented by the USGCRP reports, which show a clear worsening of the problem in the last two reports).
Global warming has generated dangerous phenomena, such as the drastic temperature increases in cold areas of the planet such as Alaska, but also sudden strong heatwaves, an increase in the frequency and force of hurricanes, a reduction in the number of cold nights (especially in the last 60 years) and the increasing number of long periods of drought bringing agriculture to its knees in many countries.
However, the consequences are not limited to those mentioned above, because other events are gradually being witnessed, such as rising sea levels, the acidification of the oceans and other similar effects which, as well as worsening the current situation, could also generate further increases in global warming. In any case, the real problem in all this is that (so far) this data has not been taken into consideration either by the president of the USA or by the USEPA.
