Wilting heat, deadly storms, flash floods, coastal erosion, more days with unhealthy air &#151; those are just some of the effects of rising temperatures on the Northeast, a group of scientists reported Wednesday. They urged governments and citizens to take steps now to avoid the most devastating consequences of global warming.

A group of Japanese researchers has found that carbon dioxide levels over the Antarctica rose by over 2.6 percent from six years ago - the first such detection of an increase in a "greenhouse" gas above the southern continent, group members said Tuesday.    Many scientists fear carbon dioxide, produced by burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes, may be causing global warming by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere...
