Sobering Facts

• According to UKs Nicholas Sterns Report in Oct
  2006, the average global surface temperatures
  have risen by 0.74ºC in the last 100 years.
• All of the 10 warmest years have occurred since
  1990, including each year since 1997.
• In 2005, Singapore experienced its longest dry
  spell in 29 years reported over 500 bush fires
  in Jan-Feb 2005 alone. In Dec 2006 and Jan 2007,
  there were worst floods in 30 years. The interval
  of weather extremes, according to most
  climatologists, is getting shorter any where in
  the world. Climate change is happening and its
  impacts demand response.
• Our open economy continual prosperity could be
  strongly influenced by climatic events happening
  outside Singapore.
• Many water-scarce regions have become thirstier.
• Sea level rise could make many coastal areas
  uninhabitable.
• Weather patterns have changed, producing stronger
  heat waves, longer droughts, unprecedented
  inundating floods and higher-intensity violent
  storms.
