"Climate change..." 'Bettejo Dux' (Classic Wednesday)

Climate Change

I am not a  scientist, I try very hard not to  indulge in name calling; but my  husband was an engineer and he 
taught me, 'if it can be measured, it's there'.

We are experiencing global warming. It can be measured. We can measure an extreme  increase in CO2 since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

We have a North West Passage  for the first time in the history of  mankind. Glaciers are calving and 
melting at alarming rates. Seas  are rising. There will be no snows on Kilimanjaro. Greenland could 
be lost. The American South West will be a desert.

Man caused? Who knows.Please watch the excellent  documentary HOME and decide for yourself. 

A metaphor: if one cleans up a  rats' mess in the hope it will  clean out a rats' nest, isn't it  better to give it a try?
