I figured that to name this post subject as just "Global Warming" would be too broad. There are many angles that can be attacked on this subject so I decided I would use the specifics of Global Warming and the effects on humans. Feel free to post any thoughts!

In a report the WWF said human impact on the climate was melting glaciers from the Andes to the Himalayas. Higher sea levels could become a threat as well as a shortage of drinking water. Himalayan glaciers feed seven great rivers of Asia that ruin through China and India, the world's most populous nations. If the glaciers completely melt the year-round water supply to two billion poeple will be depleted. "Simulations project that a 4.0 Celsius (8.0 F) rise in temperature would eliminate nearly all of the world's glaciers" by the end of the century, WWF said.
