The signs of global warming are all around us, from melting glaciers to stifling heat waves. The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990, and scientists say global warming is likely to disrupt water supplies, flood coastal areas, increase disease outbreaks and cause fragile lands, such as alpine meadows and coastal marshes, to vanish.

Overwhelmed? Don't be. We know what's causing global warming and how to stop it. But we must act now. On this page experts from NRDC and beyond talk about why this problem is so pressing and what we can do to solve it. We hope you'll click on the photos at right to listen to their various perspectives and then join us in turning up the heat to fight global warming.
