measuring, scientists said today in an international report that also found the highest sea levels since 1993 and the highest carbon dioxide concentrations in about 800,000 years. It was the third year in a row to set a new global temperature record. The annual assessment coordinated by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is the first comprehensive climate report released under President Donald Trump, who has dismissed man-made climate change as a "hoax" and announced he's withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement. ---------------------------Gabe,In Canada, Park Rangers are finding deer and caribou starving next to lush valleys which have their food. The problem is that the valleys are one degree warmer than normal. This means that mosquitoes are breading there in bigger numbers and for longer periods. The mosquitoes feed on the deer. To avoid the mosquitoes, the deer have taken to the hill slopes - which are barren - and starve. All this because of a one degree change in temperature. Mervyn
