Not how I like to start the week

Scientists Offer Dire Forecast for Earth

WASHINGTON (March 10) - The harmful effects of global warming on daily life are already showing up, and within a couple of decades hundreds of millions of people won't have enough water, top scientists will say next month at a meeting in Belgium.

At the same time, tens of millions of others will be flooded out of their homes each year as the Earth reels from rising temperatures and sea levels, according to portions of a draft of an international scientific report obtained by The Associated Press.

It goes on to talk about how tropical diseases will spread, polar bears will only be found in zoos, and that widespread starvation will be seen by 2080.

It's all based on a draft document by the "authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change" which was written and reviewed by more than 1,000 scientists from dozens of countries (still to be edited by government officials).

The article concludes with this:

Global warming soon will "affect everyone's life ... it's the poor sectors that will be most affected," Romero Lankao said.

And co-author Terry Root of Stanford University said: "We truly are standing at the edge of mass extinction" of species.

The report included these likely results of global warming.

I'd say that I hope your week is starting better than mine, but if you're reading this on the planet Earth, I guess it's not.
