Something we really need to face

This is what I mean:

Arctic ice levels hit historic low, researchers say

Here's a little bit of what it says:

The amount of Arctic sea ice has melted to a historic low, with the area of land covered by ice at the smallest level since scientists began observing it with satellites in 1972, researchers from the University of Bremen in Germany report.
...
They said their studies indicated that continuing ice decline was related to man-made global warming.


"It seems to be clear that this is a further consequence of the man-made global warming with global consequences," researchers said in their report. "Directly, the livehood of small animals, algae, fishes and mammals like polar bears and seals is more and more reduced."


So.

Are we going to do anything about it? As a species, I mean?

    Probably not...if Rick Perry is elected, or some other Right winger who is in total denial of the facts.

  2. I agree with you, Annie. And it's very worrying.
