"Further global warming of 1 °C defines a


critical threshold. Beyond that we will likely


see changes that make Earth a different planet


than the one we know."





So says Jim Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard


Institute for Space Studies in New York. Hansen


and colleagues have analysed global temperature


records and found that surface temperatures have


been increasing by an average of 0.2 °C every


decade for the past 30 years. Warming is greatest


in the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere,


particularly in the sub-Arctic boreal forests of


Siberia and North America. Here the melting of


ice and snow is exposing darker surfaces that


absorb more sunlight and increase warming,


creating a positive feedback.





Earth is already as warm as at any time in the


last 10,000 years, and is within 1 °C of being


its hottest for a million years, says Hansen's


team. Another decade of business-as-usual carbon


emissions will probably make it too late to


prevent the ecosystems of the north from


triggering
