The Time Has Come
The time has come.
In December, 2009 I was coming home from an Alaskan disaster deployment and rode with another couple to their home before being taken south to Mt. Angel in the airport shuttle. The couple asked me what I did (I always cringed since FEMA was not popular, never has been). But they asked where I'd been and when I told them they asked how is Alaska? I answered, "Alaska is melting".
If this article is true and we've tipped past the no return point, we should begin to see articles on the Tundra dying, the ecological system of Alaska (and all our northern hemisphere). Once this begins the ozone layer will only grow bigger and there is no way to stop it, nor mend it.
As a species we're sure in a goddamned hurry to destroy ourselves and everything else on the planet. Now what's this about the sanctity of human life? I don't get it.

This planet has survived quite a lot. It might just make it. With or without its heavy load of two-legged vermin.
