Wil's Rant

The Permafrost is melting! Some people would have us believe that this is not a problem. Fact is that this a problem on a scale that can not even be imagined. The arctic contains huge amounts of biomass locked in the ice. As the ice melts this matter starts to decay. The result, enormous amounts of greenhouse gases get released into the air. This is over and above the more direct problems of loss of habitat and destruction of a very fragile ecosystem. Remember that concept of domino affect? This could very well be how it will start. Changes are coming. The question remains as to whether our feeble attempts to stop the damage are going to be enough done quickly enough. Only time will tell. I predict that unless our efforts take an order of magnitude increase, it most definitely will not.
