There's not enough data to say the things this report is saying. All of these "catastrophe" reports are nothing more than political maneuvers backed by very little to no real scientific proof. Like a previous poster said, we've been in a warming trend since the last Ice age. The climate changes; It's a fact of the Earth. We don't know rates because these changes happen over hundreds of thousands of years, and the patterns last millions of years. We have data for a couple hundred years max. There's no way we could know whether or not what we're doing (humans) is either helping or hurting this process. Maybe we are helping the planet warm. But what's helping Mars warm? The sun's more active these days, making all planets warmer. Our magnetic field is in the beginning stages of a flip (magnetic north will become south and vice versa), and it's thus weakening. This prevents less of the sun's radiation from hitting parts of the Earth. All I'm saying is that this is a group of politicians who know nothing about what they speak (typical), and are just trying to scare people into voting for them again and to donate money to the environmental movement organizations that fund said politicians' campaigns.
