Indicators of Climate Change?

Part of the reason for the debate about whether or not human actions have
contributed to what could well be a disastrous climate change are the
various predicted events that have already come to pass. People all over
the world are now experiencing the kind of extreme weather that was once
experienced as events that only occurred every few centuries. For
instance, five hundred-year floods, have occurred in the Mississippi
River Valley twice in the last twenty years.
Also, fire frequency threatens human life, property, and wildlife in the
arid western part of North America at rates not seen in recorded history.
Adding to the problems, crop failures are up and pathogens are on the
move. The price of food has skyrocketed and still the weather continues
to just be strange all over the world.
Possibly, the most dramatic were the events of Hurricane Katrina. The
world saw a major US city nearly destroyed by a single storm.
