End Times musings

Our rivers are drying up. Our oil is running out.
Our animal species are racing towards extinction.
Horrendous storms, tidal waves, and earthquakes are besetting our nations.
Madmen rule our cities and blood stains sand and stone in half the world. The other half is at the brink of the same.

AND our goddamned polar ice caps are melting away.
Go ahead and kill your children so as to save them from the horror.

Theres a great interactive flash picture of the last 27 years on a sliding timeline here : Interactive Polar Ice Cap Melter
It uses satellite pictures from NASA's earth observatory.
Frome the site:
Satellites have made continual observations of Arctic sea ice extent since 1978, recording a general decline throughout that period. Since 2002, satellite records have revealed early onsets of springtime melting in the areas north of Alaska and Siberia. In addition, the 2004-2005 winter season showed a smaller recovery of sea ice extent than any previous winter in the satellite record and the earliest onset of melt throughout the Arctic.

Get youre waterwings boys.... the tides risin'
