Global warming: Alaskan glaciers melt at fastest pace in centuries
Al Jazeera English on Jul 8, 2019
The US State of Alaska is in the middle of an unprecedented heatwave, and scientists say there are more alarming signs of global warming. The state’s glaciers are melting at a rate not seen in hundreds of years. Glaciers play an important role in providing fresh water, but melting glaciers can contribute to rising sea levels.

New Studies Raise Alarms About the State of Ice in Antarctica

NASA scientist Claire Parkinson says that, from 2014-2017, Antarctic sea ice rapidly fell to its lowest levels in 40 years, which could trigger a devastating rise in sea levels.

Excellent post.
The ultimate catch 22; trapped in a cycle of perpetual ecocidal war-making over resources that are exponentially environmentally toxic. It’s a multiple jeopardy. Meanwhile the most imminent crisis for so many is ‘simply’ water.
When will the US establishment accept the fact, that destroying the enduring viability of the one and only biosphere for the sake of prestige and power, is screaming terminal insanity?
The Dahr Jamail interview is timely. We are suddenly finding ourselves rocketing into this ‘alien’ era where the only sane politics has suddenly become the direct consequence of over-consumption, excessive hubris, reckless aggression & unraveling climate catastrophe ~ for which the only solution is wise and innovative regenerative ecology…..mobilized on a universal scale.
There are urgent actions that must be taken and those from which we must abstain altogether. Time is short. This is a thoroughly ‘man-made’ planetary crisis, unprecedented in human history.
Thanks for watching both videos, David, and of course, your wonderful commentary!
