Britain's Meteorological Office predicted that 2007 is likely to be the hottest year since record-keeping began in the mid 1800's.

The world's 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1994 with 2006 the sixth warmest on record.

Just recently, the Bush administration, under the threat of a lawsuit, agreed to declare polar bears an endangered species. The bears' arctic habitat has experienced declining ice coverage due to global warming.
