Clinton, the second president in American history to be impeached, vowed to finish his term. In November 1995, Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a 21-year-old unpaid intern. Over the course of a year and a half, the president and Lewinsky had nearly a dozen sexual encounters in the White House.
Scientists use âglobal warmingâ in a precise way, to mean âa tendency for the globe to warm over a given periodâ. There is a great deal of scientific study focused on climate change, and the majority of scientists agree that the average global temperature is increasing.
Global warming is a slow steady rise in Earth's surface temperature. Temperatures today are 0.74 Â°C (1.33 Â°F) higher than 150 years ago. Many scientists say that in the next 100â200 years, temperatures might be up to 6 degrees Celsius higher than they were before the effects of global warming were discovered. The basic cause seems to be a rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide, as predicted by Svante Arrhenius a hundred years ago.
