At the December 2007 meetings of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, climatologist Konrad Steffen announced that the extent of the melting of ice in Greenland in the year 2007 surpassed the previous record reached in 2005 by a full 10 percent. The air over the Greenland ice sheet has risen 7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1991. The effects of global warming are increasing at an increasing rate. We need the political efforts to address and ameliorate these effects to increase at an increasing rate as well. We need a change in administration for that to happen.
