Miss Piggy’s Version Of Global Warming: What About Me?


Here’s a new, sly, (and honestly selfish) approach to consider about tellurian warming: instead of worrying about a whole world and all a oceans, how about seeking a some-more personal doubt …

What about me? What about where we live? Or where my grandma lives? Or a North Pole? Or Siberia? What if we could take my curser, noise it onto any place on Earth and find out what’s happened to temperatures right there.

Click! And a graph now registers how most temperatures have altered in that really segment given a early 1950?s. You can click anywhere we please, on deserts, oceans, island chains, mountains, on places we adore or dream of, and learn if things have been warming adult or cooling down, and by how much.

I’d put this things in excellent print, though we during NPR don’t have a “fine imitation option” for a blogs, so if we don’t wish to know this, flicker or go travel a dog. (Or listen to Radiolab. I’m told it’s a excellent podcast.) For a rest of you:
