Some dont like it hot

Marine researchers have recently reported that deep water temperatures in the Mediterranean have risen two degrees since last year, a serious increase. A report presented by Italy’s Institute for Sea Research (ICRAM), released prior to a major national conference on climate change, explains that the Mediterranean’s warming could result in the erosion of over 1,500km of Italian coastline, damage marine life, and limit the sea’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Climate experts at the conference, held in Rome, closed the proceedings with a vow to come up with a comprehensive strategy to fight global warming by 2008. Experts noted that a national plan, which would likely cost the government billions of dollars, would aim to protect Italy’s eroding coastlines, promote environmentally friendly behaviours by tourists and citizens, and educate Italians on expected climate changes.
