I Can't Argue

Guardian: Nasa scientist: climate change is a moral issue on a par with slavery

Consequences of Imminent Arctic Collapse

Arctic Warming is Altering Weather Patterns, Study Shows | Climate Central

"The study shows that by changing the temperature balance between the Arctic and mid-latitudes, rapid Arctic warming is altering the course of the jet stream, which steers weather systems from west to east around the hemisphere. The Arctic has been warming about twice as fast as the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, due to a combination of human emissions of greenhouse gases and unique feedbacks built into the Arctic climate system."

Not having a plan to reduce fossil carbon pollution is willful and knowing recklessness!
