The air we breathe, the land we live on and share with those we've allowed to survive, the water we drink and use to grow our crops, the waters that at one time were clean and healthy for many species of marine life. Oceans, ecosystems, plants, animals. Our children. We've screwed it all up. Some will skim and either say or think, "it's just polar bears." Sadly, if it were baby seals that could be clubbed to death for money, there might be more reaction. Read it and weep. Indeed. [/quote] hi nine's...:) YES. and they attribute the deaths of all the pelicans and 500 penguins in brazil to 'natural causes,' but do not explain what 'naturally caused' it. the consequential sequences. always with the double speak. [/quote] Hi Anne, yes, I know what you mean. Maybe the death of a mass of humans will also be natural causes. Thank you for the article, and for caring. I clicked the "suggest pin" on the upper right side of the post and hope others will too. I have some evening chores to do outside, but when done, if the mods haven't pinned it, I think I have enough karma to do it. Will check back. [/quote] well i made this stupid meme earlier today in response to one with the same words but some vapid pretty girl looking woebegone...and i want to share it with you, nine's...for caring. it's a pic from the 500 dead penguins. :hf: :dontstopcaring: [/quote] Thanks Anne. It's good to have a reminder. Going to pin this now. You'll get 3 karma for having it pinned. If you give one back it'll help for pinning the next one. It will be very interesting to see how many people care. [/quote]

Extent of surface melt over Greenland’s ice sheet on July 8 (left) and July 12 (right). Measurements from three satellites showed that on July 8, about 40 percent of the ice sheet had undergone thawing at or near the surface. In just a few days, the melting had dramatically accelerated and an
estimated 97 percent of the ice sheet surface had thawed by July 12.
In the image, the areas classified as “probable melt” (light pink) correspond to those sites where at least one satellite detected surface melting. The areas classified as “melt” (dark pink) correspond to sites where two or three satellites detected surface melting. The satellites are measuring different physical properties at different scales and are passing over Greenland at different times. As a whole, they provide a picture of an extreme melt event about which scientists are very confident. Credit: Nicolo E. DiGirolamo, SSAI/NASA GSFC, and Jesse Allen, NASA Earth Observatory
