The collapse of Larsen B Ice Shelf (click here).
This is an entire ice structure which is tens of thousands of years old if not hundreds of thousands of years old. If the climate of Earth were to return to benevolence today, the people alive now would never witness it's return. That isn't something to respect? Reflect about to realize the level of planetary demise humans have caused? What will be enough? And when? When it's far, far too late?
The melt of the ice shelf to Antarctica has never abated for over two decades (click here for link). That never impressed anyone ENOUGH? It impressed Al Gore a long time ago. There is a very lopsided way of looking at economics in the USA. There is no room for 'the truth' or 'decency.' Because of the lack of intelligence in the economic sector of the USA there needs to be drastically different focus and management with the next administration. This is simply an outrage.
