----------------------------------------------------- after watching and reading these millenials and their ilk for the last few years on this board and others i don't like them AT ALL anyway . Feck them John LawFuture generations will have to contend with the selfishness, gluttony and irresponsibility of the Baby Boom generation as well as Republican greed. They will curse us. The deniers will be dust when the real effects of climate change occurs. Just like Trump they don't give a shit what happens to others when they're dead and gone.
------------------------------------- 'millenials' aren't worth saving . Course i don't believe all the warnings and alerts that so called experts advertise anyway . I look outside and everything seems fine to me JLaw .----------------------------------------------------- after watching and reading these millenials and their ilk for the last few years on this board and others i don't like them AT ALL anyway .

Either you believe that we should leave future generations better off than we are or you don't. I'll say your opinion is honest as to your belief. I disagree. All we are doing is leaving our descendants a clusterfck.
There are plenty of options on the table from the Republican inspired cap and trade to investing in green infrastructure. Of course, the US can't do it alone, but the US should not be the country leading the retreat from action. We are either a can do nation or a nation of defeatists.

Here is some of the findings:
Some of the findings in the research, provided by 81 scientists in 12 countries, included:
- The wintertime maximum extent of sea ice in the region, in March of this year, was the second lowest in 39 years of record keeping.
- Ice that persists year after year, forming thick layers, is disappearing from the Arctic. This is important because the very old ice tends to resist melting; without it, melting accelerates. Old ice made up less than 1 percent of the Arctic ice pack this year, a decline of 95 percent over the last 33 years.
- Donald K. Perovich, a sea-ice expert at Dartmouth College who contributed to the report, said the “big story” for ice this year was in the Bering Sea, off western Alaska, where the extent of sea ice reached a record low for virtually the entire winter. During two weeks in February, normally a time when sea ice grows, the Bering Sea lost an area of ice the size of Idaho, Dr. Perovich said.
- The lack of ice and surge of warmth coincides with rapid expansion of algae species in the Arctic Ocean, associated with harmful blooms that can poison marine life and people who eat the contaminated seafood. The northward shift of the algae “means that the Arctic is now vulnerable to species introductions into local communities and ecosystems that have little to no prior exposure to this phenomenon,” the report said.
- Reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 percent in the past two decades, dropping to 2.1 million from 4.7 million. Scientists monitoring 22 herds found that two of them were at peak numbers without declines, but five populations had declined more than 90 percent “and show no sign of recovery.”
- Tiny bits of ocean plastic, which can be ingested by marine life, are proliferating at the top of the planet. “Concentrations in the remote Arctic Ocean are higher than all other ocean basins in the world,” the report said. The microplastics are also showing up in Arctic sea ice. Scientists have found samples of cellulose acetate, used in making cigarette filters, and particles of plastics used in bottle caps and packaging material.
And what do you propose we do?

The Arctic is in even worse shape than you realize
Over the past three decades of global warming, the oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic has declined by a stunning 95 percent, according the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s annual Arctic Report Card.
