Record Arctic ice melt

The Australian: Record Arctic ice melt:

"Most scientists believe greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide that is released mainly from vehicles and utility smokestacks, cause global warming by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. Many believe global warming can lead to catastrophic consequences, including raising sea levels and strengthening weather events such as hurricanes."

This news is alarming, to say the least. Thre are broad patterns which are quite noticeable and experts far greater than I are commenting upon and we just ignore them and we carry on as though we need have no concern. We should be galvanised into action by now. The Arctic melting and never recovering ought to make us want to change our ways. The increase in hurricanes ought to make us want to change our ways. Oceans are getting warmer, rains are deluges. Don't you think we need to do something about it? Or shall we wait till the wheels fall off?
