Global Warming Current Impacts
This page contains references for probable global warming impacts that have already been observed. The goal is to provide a repository of quality links for anyone looking to see how global warming is already impacting the world. These are less direct than other evidence for global warming, and a separate, similar page for more direct evidence can be found here
