Here's the question though that nobody knows the answer to, would this be happening now if man did not exist or would it be happening much later?

Here's a link to the actual ice coverage in the north pole, form the National Snow and Ice Data Center in the original post:



and the graph 303hydro linked to, from futuretimeline.net:

very true ..... but i would rather see her push that button now than see what else we can do to her in the meantime.


i would rather hug a tree than fuck the planet.

As long as the earth has minerals to extract, we'll fuck it.

Where's the graph from say the last 500 years? Is this a dumb question? FUCK ICE lol. And polar bears fuck them too! Those fuckers gonna have to figure out something else to catch those seals. That's some bullshit waiting for them to breath looks like the seals won lol. Maybe they figured out how to melt the ice to fuck the polar bears. Seriously if they did then fuck seals too.

Good point. But we're an extension of those bears. We'll have to reinvent our wheel... before the conventional one stalls.

That's a proper trend-line. From start to finish.

Well really she already is but being as old as she is that moment to push a button for her, seems like several generations to us. Don't worry I've yet to see any proof we can push the planet beyond the point of healing itself. I do however believe we can push it beyond the point of mankind being able to survive...if we haven't done so already.

^with the heating of the globe and melting of the ice caps weather will become more extreme. this can already be seen. Then as sea levels rise there will be mass migration. they will move to places where there is resources, but there will already be people there, and there wont be enough for all. This will result in fighting over them. Climates will change faster than our crops can adapt.To add to that most of the bees that pollinate out crops are dead, and will all be dead.

The famine and war to come will be horrific. There will be mass amounts of death int the next 50 years.

airports have already been moving and repaving their runways 10 degrees to keep in line with the np...we're all dead..peace
