The science is firmly established beyond a reasonable doubt and it
should be obvious to everyone by now: the polar ice caps are
shrinking, glaciers are disappearing and extreme weather event
damage (including larger and more frequent forest fires) is
increasing dramatically. Just ask anybody in the insurance industry
on that last one. Anyone still denying the reality of this is either
deranged, deluded or willfully blind.
In this week's news alone we have learned that Canadian salmon
returning to spawn are dieing off before they get to the spawning
grounds because the rivers are noticeably warmer than they are used
to. Meanwhile, Alaska is cancelling entire crab harvests this year
in an effort to rebuild stocks as last year's catch was so pitifully
small. Once again warmer waters are a factor. And today Canadian
scientists are reporting that Arctic Ocean is not only getting
warmer with less ice cover but its acidity is increasing as a result
and plankton (the underlying base of the whole ocean food chain)
is being negatively affected. Also shellfish shells are becoming
thinner and more fragile. This is all quite alarming.
RH> Unless the kids ripped off the tools from FDNY.
Read the articles beneath the photos. The fire dept opens the
hydrants for a few minutes. Little kids are not breaking into
fire halls and stealing heavy tools. Have you seen the size of the
monkey wrench they use?

Exactly. It proves my point.
