It's true, oceans worldwide are swiftly on the rise, as the glaciers and ice caps melt. Global warming is causing climate change, fueling forest fires and droughts. And it is time sceptics accept the fact, it's true. Believe in climate change; it’s happening right now, there is no time left for debate. We can’t afford to ignore this problem for nature has assured us that weather patterns are off, despite what some believe. We failed in our mission to reach carbon neutral. Progress and profit trump caution and we’re now feeling the consequences as global warming reshapes Earth. Opting to do nothing when it mattered; we failed.

I can't comprehend why some people don't believe global warming is real! I suppose they think those news stories about polar bears floating on blocks of ice are hoaxes. Your have penned an excellent cautionary piece on the topic, Emile. Janice

Thanks, Janice, I agree some people don't believe global warming is real, and that is going to cost the next generation dearly. As always, I appreciate and welcome your comments my friend, Emile.

I don't fear you maybe right, Emile, I'm convinced of it. And still, there are those who are taking a ho-hum attitude. Very fine rictameter!
