When looking for “suitable” information
Climate change is faster and more extreme than we feared – under this heading the British newspaper Telegraph has made in the year 2008 press release WWF (World Wildlife Fund), in which the authors referred to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). In the updated report, the WWF says that the rate of global warming is even greater than the IPCC predicted. Telegraph among other things, documented the following images with explanations:

The problem is that the Telegraph to take “appropriate” old information, because since 2007 the situation has changed. But not according to their catastrophic scenarios. This report, the WWF took too CNN. Among other things, says CNN that the sea level will rise to twice the IPCC (Globally, sea levels are now expected to rise More than double the IPCC’s most recent forecast of 0.59 meters before the end of the century. This will put millions of people in coastal regions at risk.) If, however, were compared to actual data from this year, it would be difficult to find in them a basis for (purpose?) developing panic. The following satellite images map the extent of glaciation in 1979 and this year. The differences are not dramatic, the situation is rather similar.
