Two news articles I read recently are painting a very scary and urgent picture for the world. If we don’t start making drastic changes in the next 20 or 30 years we will potentially see severe results such as species extinction and continued severe weather. I live in Arizona. I am not looking forward to having 110 plus degree weather more days than not. Yesterday I think was the 12th straight day of over 110. I can only imagine that this trend is going to continue and we will remain in a drought. As a country, we need to start making the changes that scientists and other professionals have been demanding for years and we need to do it soon.

this can’t be good

A large chunk of Antarctica’s Wilkins ice shelf has started to break off. This ice shelf is a permanent ice sheet that apparently, due to being in a fast warming area, is not going really so permanent. This is a huge sign- in case all the other signs weren’t working -that the Earth cannot withstand the warming.
