Voices inside one's head are difficult to ignore.

Your point defies confutation and comprehension with with an effortless insouciance.

By 'correcting' my spelling, Ardy, ya missed what I wrote. I wrote, "growing rice is anti-Mother Earth, but anti-ricism is racist.;-)". "anti-ricism? anti-rice? Get it? You have demonstrated yourself to be way too intelligent a poster to miss that -- unless you are letting emotion cloud your perspective. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar (sorry Sigmund) and sometimes poking fun is just poking fun.;-)

Oh well, I've done a series of 16 hour days this week and it looks like I have about three more ahead of me, so have a good night.:-)
Yours,
Issodhos

Entire Landscapes On the Move

A new study led by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration this week revealed that the Arctic's thick, year-round sea ice cover declined 2.6 million square kilometres beyond the summer average minimum since satellites started measurements in 1979. That's about the size of the province of Ontario.

"That decline is nothing short of stunning," Weaver told IPS.

It's also a permanent decline because while the ice will re-form over the six-month-long winter when there is no sunlight, it will be much thinner and likely to melt quickly next summer, he said.

Because Arctic sea ice is floating, the melting will not affect sea levels but it will "wreak absolute havoc on Arctic ecosystems".

The rapid meltdown is pushing the upper end of the climate experts' projections, he said, noting that new research shows that change in the Arctic could happen abruptly. In other words, the worst case scenarios and beyond may come to pass. They may even be on their way right now.

Oceans are 'soaking up less CO2'

"Results of their 10-year study in the North Atlantic show CO2 uptake halved between the mid-90s and 2000 to 2005.

...

Researchers said the findings, published in a paper for the Journal of Geophysical Research, were surprising and worrying because there were grounds for believing that, in time, the ocean might become saturated with our emissions. "


not good
