the tundra is melting.
Thousands of square miles of Siberia are now melting. Will release thousands of tons of methane.
Global warming rates are ramped up.
It makes all the politics and everything else seem kind of "so what?".
We're screwed.

2. Yes we are.
If it melts we will have a real big mess on our hands. For now I have to keep on with all of this because after reading about that I was frankly ready to go into hiding.

Keep on keeping on.

3. and people still ask me why I'm not interested in having kids
You think I want to bring some poor soul into the world 20 years from now?

I'd sooner just fuck and make future stem cells.

6. And I wish I didn't live so close to the Great Lakes...
I don't wanna die by drowning due to some idiotic decisions made in this time.

7. Now if you could collect
the methane gas,compress it and store it.we would be able to lessen our dependence on oil.Less methane in the atmosphere,less oil usage that would slow global warming problem solved.
