Wil's Rant

The fact that the ice shelves in the Arctic and Antarctic are melting is not new information. The fact that they are speeding up the flow of the glaciers is. There seem to be various opinions as to the affect that this will have. One of those opinions is that it will accelerate the rising of the sea levels all over the world. What I find particularly surprising is the number of people who continue to insist that this is all part of a normal climate cycle that the world goes through repeatedly. While the earth does go through this type of cycle, the real concern is the speed at which it is currently changing. The faster the change, the more difficult it will be for all species to adapt to it. It definitely appears that without some major change in our strategy another mass extinction looms.
