polar ice melting from below
A recent article start with:
Antarctica holds an absurdly large amount of ice — 3.5 million cubic miles’ worth — so it’s reassuring to know that it isn’t all going to melt anytime soon. If it did, sea level would go up about 180 ft., causing unimaginable devastation. But even with any reasonable projection for global warming, the air over Antarctica simply won’t get warm enough to turn much of that ice into water.
Swell. So maybe oceans only rise 18 feet, or 1.8 feet from antarctic ice metl. Then we toss in Greenland and Alaska. Another foot or ten.
How much longer can we ignore climate change?

Spring is Coming
On a more lighthearted, if gross, note....
Spring must be coming because we had our first serious outbreak of flies today. Dratted things are annoying bigtime!

Santorum: Climate change a hoax
While this is not entirely suprising, it is disturbing. It might be one thing to question a theory backed by 99% of all those actually trained in the field, but to disparage it like this is just plain wrong. And given the gravity of the consequences of burying one's head in the sand, it's stupid. You need to at least hedge your bet.

The village idiots
Seems cantor and the orange wonder, speaker Boehner, are declaring a "truce"
Only God knows why. They don't like each other, they shouldn't like each other, and most of us don't like them

But, maybe the reduced friction will contribute in some small way to climate change efforts :)
If in no other way than getting some of their pals un-elected.

Polar region meltdown - literally
In case you still have doubts about whether or not our climate is changing, forget the debate about humans being a factor not, read this:
Arctic changing 'at record pace': study
Something is happening, and regardless of whether or not humans are contributing to the problem, we certainly are NOT working on any mitigation plans. So, by ignoring it we are necessarily a contributing force.
Why aregue over IF there is a problem, why not focus on what might be done? Or we can wait until 20% of what is currently Florida is under water. Yeah, there is a good idea.
