Better buy yourself a pair of wellies fast, judging by what I'm reading on the ice melting news front. Not only are the Greenland glaciers calving icebergs faster than ever, but apparently scientists have just realised, that the Antarctic ice-shelves which they thought weren't seeing much action, have melted away by 60 billion tonnes last year. So, they thought it wasn't too bad, but actually it is! That invariably means that sea-levels are bound to rise, soon, and by a lot. For the majority of the World's population, who just happen to live in low-lying coastal areas, that could spell wet feet I'm afraid.
Not that I'm too far above sea-level myself, but far enough to get my ass the hell out of here on time. If it waves I'l say goodbye. I know that "The Day After Tomorrow" sort of covered it, but I suspect that we're due a few more films of that sort, just to remind us how the planet intends to get back at us for using cars and sometimes leaving a light on when we go out!
I don't believe that shit for a minute. It's heavy industry that's mainly responsible for pollution, but they contribute more to the economy than you do, so why should they take the blame. They're flushing the World down the pan, while Governments feably protest on their behalf that it's the public that should hold themselves accountable. Who's to say that it's not just a natural phenomena anyhow? Maybe the ice was due to melt around now, and it was going to happen come what may. I've got no problem with it. Shit happens, you learn from it and you move on!
