"The Arctic is warming at an unprecedented rate."
Been running below last year's record low
"Melting of the Greenland ice sheet has reached a new record, which was a staggering 60 percent above the previous high in 1998"
The culprit behind the record-shattering level of ice melting in Greenland in 2012 may have been low, thin clouds , new research suggests

Recent measurements indicate the arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, with sea ice this summer shrinking to its smallest extent on record.

PASADENA, Calif. - An international team of experts supported by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) has combined data from multiple satellites and aircraft to produce the most comprehensive and accurate assessment to date of ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica and their contributions to sea level rise.
In a landmark study published Thursday in the journal Science, 47 researchers from 26 laboratories report the combined rate of melting for the ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica has increased during the last 20 years. Together, these ice sheets are losing more than three times as much ice each year (equivalent to sea level rise of 0.04 inches or 0.95 millimeters) as they were in the 1990s (equivalent to 0.01 inches or 0.27 millimeters). About two-thirds of the loss is coming from Greenland, with the rest from Antarctica.

etc, etc. Things are ahead of schedule. Everybody and everything except denialists understand that.
Lilacs and forsythia blooming earlier…
Summers so hot that tomatoes stop fruiting…
Snowless Januaries that make mid-winter gardening increasingly doable...
And once “borderline-hardy” species now considered safe bets in our landscape.
Those are what central-Pennsylvania plants are telling us about a climate that’s noticeably different than even 20 years ago.

Since the late 1990s, climate change has driven a massive expansion of forest-destroying Mountain Pine Beetles in Canada, delivering the country one of the worst ecological disasters in its history. The insects are not technically invasive, and until recently they existed in a natural balance with their environment; killing off older trees and making room for new growth. But as a new documentary chronicles, climate change eliminated many of the natural limits on the beetles’ geographic spread and their rate of reproduction.

Ornithologist R. Sugathan says these are indications of global warming. "Birds do not migrate or come for fun. When a moist deciduous forest changes into deciduous, shedding its moist tag, a new set of birds and animals takes the place of the old. This is obvious in the changing pattern of migration of birds to Kerala. Some of them are now found going to places in neighbouring Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in search of food and breeding grounds."
