Global Warming To Become Unmanageable

|

There's yet another sign that climate change is upon us. Areas of the Siberian Tundra are starting to thaw, with the potential to release billions of tons of greenhouse gas (methane) into the atmosphere, accelerating the process of global warming.

The risk is that the process will become self perpetuating. Started by humanity, but out of humanity's control to stop.

The nay sayers still try to delude us (and themselves?) that there isn't a problem. Unwilling to countenance a fall in living standards to arrest the process, they are willing to gamble that we can maintain our lifestyles, impervious to the massive ecological changes that global warming will bring.

Seems to me that, either way, the adjustment is going to be painful. Better to start now while we still have control of the situation.
