The NOAA recently released the 2012 State of the Climate report. Over 300 leading scientists affirm once again that climate change is real. Lack of rain during the 2012 wet season led to the worst drought in at least the past three decades for northeastern Brazil. Central North America also experienced one of its most severe droughts on record. The Caribbean observed a very wet dry season and it was the Sahel’s wettest rainy season in 50 years. 2012 was one of the 10 warmest years on record in the U.S. Carbon pollution continues to increase, sea levels have reached record highs, and Arctic sea ice is rapidly disappearing.
