Europe's record heat wave moves toward Greenland

Greenland's ice sheet has been melting pretty fast for years [1]. Maybe it's because I'm not a native English speaker, but using "threaten" sounds to me like until now it had been living peacefully unaffected by climate change.

This seems like the perfect time to panic.

I just don’t see how we’re getting out of this alive.

yes, I was panicking back when al gore tried to scare the crap out of all of us by saying all ice caps will be melted by 2012 and to start panicking because we were going to lose all the coastal cities.

he then proceeded to buy investment property on the beach.

The biggest problem IMO is that people don't seem to be able grasp that governments simply cannot solve this.

Only when there is that general understanding can people stop focusing on government as the path to solving this.

Unfortunately however almost everyone focuses on government and elections which is simply wasting more time.

I'm on your wavelength.

The biggest, most gigantic problem, amongst many, is that the food supply seems in serious danger.

Governments are the only people who can enact laws to move large numbers of people as a group to act.
