> >
> > There’s been a debate burning for years on the
> causes of global
> > warming. But according to scientists, the debate
> is over. New evidence
> > shows man is contributing to the warming of the
> planet, pumping out
> > greenhouse gases that trap solar heat. And, they
> say, the North Pole,
> > which has been frozen for 100,000 years, is in the
> process of melting.
> > Much of this new data was compiled by American
> scientist Bob Correll,
> > who led a study called the Arctic Climate Impact
> Assessment. According
> > to the study, the seas are rising, hurricanes will
> be more powerful
> > (like Katrina) and polar bears may be headed
> toward extinction. So
> > what does the melting Arctic look like? Scott
> Pelley recently traveled
> > North with Correll to see first hand. His report
> will air on 60
> > Minutes, Sunday, Feb. 19, 7PM ET/PT on CBS.
