we're coming out of our ice age. The planet is warming at an accelerating rate. In northern canada, thousands of square kilometers of tundra are melting into a stinking morass- a swamp. This new swamp is made of peat, and is decomposing to release tons of methane into our atmosphere. Sea ice depth under the northern pole has shrunk 40 feet! in the last 4 decades. Canada will be in a position in 10 years to open a northern shipping route through our arctic. But nothing is being done because the vast mojority of people just don't care. We're too concerned with earning material wealth to get up off our asses and save something important.
