Climate Change and Melting Ice
Those keeping track of the slowly unfolding demise of the Antarctic will be interested to know that the Scar Inlet is now predicted to shatter into small icebergs sometime close to the end of March, the end of a long, hot summer down there.
If these events accomplish anything, they serve as reminders that a business-as-usual approach to energy and the environment means catastrophe for humankind and all other life forms.
Fortunately, more people are twigging on the importance of all this every day.
I believe that we are currently at a record low global sea ice level as of right now:

This is happening fast.
