The impact of these events is increasingly costly, as demonstrated by the loss of life, property, vegetation, and topsoil. Insurance payouts caused by extreme weather events are forecast to double every ten years. These increasingly frequent - and/or more severe - weather events are resulting directly from the steady - but persistent - increase in average global temperature. The rise in average global temperature is directly attributed to the rise in atmospheric greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.<BR /></SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://web.mac.com/petermellalieu/Teacher/Blog/Entries/2008/2/4_Global_climate_change%3A_A_summary_of_the_argument_for_change.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/web.mac.com/img/E61CC567-B7AC-494F-9B2C-0C098E25F1A6" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://web.mac.com/petermellalieu/Teacher/Blog/Entries/2008/2/4_Global_climate_change%3A_A_summary_of_the_argument_for_change.html">the incidence and cost of extreme climate events is increasing at a rate disproportionally higher than the rise in average global temperature: the situation is getting worse faster than "straight line" relationships would suggest.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8430E5C4-3E69-4562-A6E1-E8DFCAA4BA47/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
