I wouldn't mind litesong's responses if they didn't make my eyes bleed. All the needless hy-phe-na-tion drives me nuts, which I suppose is the point (or am I missing something?). Keep hoping for a comment of substance rather than ad-hominems.

Ice melting?
Good.
I would be worried if the ice was growing.

Ascribing the actions of "don'T rump", racists, sexists, & xenophobes to the left are long tried, but poor efforts of the collapsing "re-pubic-lick-uns". Stating that 99.4% of people act such, is a way for "don'T rump", racists, sexists, xenophobes, & "re-pubic-lick-uns" to fool themselves that heaven will still welcome them.

Your self-description is perfectly accurate. But, you shouldn't copy what others say about "re-pubic-lick-uns".

Rather than seeing it as a disappointment, I see it as an exciting opportunity to be part of guiding the world through the most challenging transition that has ever been forced upon us in the 300,000 years of human existence. The world is full now. Humans and our livestock outweigh wild animals 50:1. Natural resource access is tipping over the peak of ore grade quality, soil grades, fresh water, since we have used the best first. We are not going to build our way out of this jam. Degrowth is the only way. By choice or collapse.

Ice is melting at unprecedented rates. Antarctica has gone from record high ice area in 2014 to record low now. The turnaround is breathtaking - about 1.9 Million square kilometers of loss is just 5 years. West Antarctica ice is going to go away in the summer, much more quickly than we thought just a few years ago.
Arctic ice is at its second lowest point on record, and the low is coming later in September than ever in the record.
The global total of ice area has dropped each decade since the '80's and each year since 2016. The 80's area was 25.52 Million square kilometers, and 2019 it is 21.97 Million square kilometers - 3.55 Million square kilometer LOSS.
Virtually ALL glaciers are losing a lot of ice - and this is already massively affecting the water supply for about a quarter of the people on earth.

One need only to look at their “Mission and Vision” statement to know where they stand.

It’s pretty hard to believe anything they report as the “ truth” when they’re biased to begin with on all subjects.
