There is Evidence of Climate Change All Around the World
Sea Level Rise
According to Nasa, sea levels rose about 17 centimeters in the last century.
The rate of sea level rise in the last decade is nearly double that of the last century.

Global Temperature Rise
Most of the earth's increased warming has occurred since 1970.
The 20 warmest years in history have occurred since 1981, and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years.

Warming Oceans
The Ocean absorbs much of the Earth's increasing heat.
Since 1969, the top 700 meters have shown a temperature increase of 0.302 degrees Fahrenheit.

Shrinking Ice Sheets
Both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have greatly decreased in mass.
According to Nasa's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers of ice per year between 2002 and 2006, while Antarctica lost about 152 cubic kilometers of ice between 2002 and 2005.

Declining Arctic Sea Ice
Over the last several decades, both the extent and thickness of Arctic Sea Ice has been declining rapidly.
According to Nasa, Arctic Sea Ice is declining at a rate of approximately 13.4% per decade.

Glacial Retreat
All around the globe, glaciers are retreating - including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska, and Africa.

Ocean Acidification
Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by 30%, according to Nasa.
