More Statistics to prove Global Warming is a serious problem

Here are some more statistics that are just more proof that global warming is having a serious effect on our earth:

-Data from NASA shows that we have had some of our hottest years on the planet within the past 15 years, 1998 and 2005. Most of these years have also been in the top 25 warmest years on planet Earth

-According to a study by scientists and research at MIT, there has been a 100% increase in the duration and intensity in storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes. This is likely caused by an increase in CO2 emissions

-The United States of America is a large contributor in the Greenhouse Effect. The USA contributes 1/4 of emissions into the atmosphere despite the fact that the USA only makes up 5% of the world's population
