Planet is warming faster than expected

Glaciers are receding in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, Norway and other Northern Climes.

This happened before in the history of the planet, but well before our species had evolved. The warm up of nine degrees fahrenheit 55 million years ago was due to a massive release of carbon and methane in the atmosphere. But, unlike the the Palaeocene-Eocene era, today we are releasing those same greenhouse gases 30 times faster.

If present trends continue the earth will experience unprecedented climate change.
