#3I just came back from 7 months on one of the U.S. research stations, doing network engineering and glacier search and rescue. It was pretty interesting to see how fast the glacier face the station was near was retreating each year.
edit: did an AMA while there that hit the reddit front page

#4Trump is President. Amazon buying Whole Foods. Antartica is melting. London Burning. Corals dying. Bees dying. North Korea. Putin. Etc.
WTF is going on... Elect Elon Musk as President in 2020 and let's all go to Mars (Not!)
So many assholes in charge. And the people of this planet are in diametric opposition to each other.
Feel free to down vote this on the basis that it is absolutely and utterly useless to state all that is wrong and offer no solutions. I just happen to think that we need more of stating what is wrong. I don't think it has sunk in yet.

#5As long as my golf courses in Florida are OK, there is no global warming. A bunch of floating ice can't raise sea levels, since the ice is already there, it's just moving around. It's big ice, yes, but it won't do anything and certainly won't reach the US, hence it will not affect it. Those damn state leaders aligning with the commie Europeans on the issue don't know a thing, they're going rogue. I tell you what, they will regret this, the federal government and the American people won't stand for this.

Clearly, it needs a bit more repeating for the English speaking oafs.

Bees are not dying, we are doing better this year than last year here in Holland:)

#9Wow... just wow. I'm overwhelmingly under-learned on this topic, but from the sounds of scientists, shit is literally hitting the fan. What books and research in the last couple years are good for non-scientists about the effects of rising oceans on socio-economics and politics?

Yes they are. People keep conflating the ability of commercial bee keepers to keep up with colony collapse with the ability of wild bee populations to survive. They are not the same thing.
I don't know about the Netherlands specifically but iirc neonicotinoid pesticides are banned throughout the EU. Maybe wild bees are doing better there. But overall things are not getting better.
