Unfortunately global warming is well under way. Here are some telltale signs.
Carbon dioxide and other gases from the burning of fossil fuels collect in the
atmosphere and act like the glass walls of a greenhouse, trapping heat on the
earth's surface. Scientists predict that the planet's average temperature could rise
as much as 6.3 degrees F (3.5 degrees C) over the next century, and we are
already seeing heat waves, melting polar ice and rising seas.
Local impact remains unpredictable: some areas could suffer stronger storms and
other places severe drought. Seven environmental groups -Environmental Defense
Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Union of Concerned
Scientists, U.S. Public Interest Research Group, World Resources Institute and
World Wildlife Fund - have put together a world map showing "early-warning signs"
of global warming. Reviewed by a team of scientists, the signs fall into two
categories: direct manifestations of warming, called fingerprints, and events that
could become more frequent and widespread with climate change, which are
labeled harbingers. Here's an advance look at the highlights of the map: Taken

Changing lifestyles The past couple of decades have seen the rise of a class of
professionals in their 20s and 30s who typically have high disposable incomes and
few responsibilities. The rise of women in paid employment and the corresponding
increase in disposable income has fuelled the increase in alcohol consumption.
Young women -those without family responsibilities- seem best able to fund the
habit.
The tendency towards "extended youth" -people putting off marriage and children-
may well have contributed towards the trend of higher consumption of alcohol,
among both women and men.
