Global warming is a hot topic (no pun intended), but both sides of the debate offer a valid argument, but the signs of global warming are sometimes hard to ignore, especially if you look at the world as a whole. Summers seems to be getting hotter and there is now a wildfire map of California.

World maps suggest that there are significant warnings of climate change, and visible signs can also be seen on the USA map. Global warming is a universal dilemma.

Global warming is defined by Merriam-Webster as an increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicated to occur due to an increase in the green house effect resulting especially from pollution.

There are climate change maps now available online that show the map of the World that feature what they call fingerprint and harbinger signs. Fingerprints are direct manifestations of a widespread and long-term trend toward warmer global temperatures. Examples of fingerprints are heat waves and glacier meltings. Harbingers are events that foreshadow the types of impacts likely to become more frequent and widespread with continued warming. Examples of harbingers are droughts, fires and spread of disease.

These climate change maps are mapped out for local areas, so readers can see how the climate is effects everywhere from a map of Europe to a map of Florida or map of California.

The entire map of the world has somehow shown early warning signs and many local consequences of global warming. There is no way to argue that the planet is not somehow changing. The real question is if there is really any real way to stop it? Is global warming and climate change just a natural progression of the Earth as a planet or not? Only time will tell.
