Melting icecaps might not make sense to you, and that's fine. A lot of things don't make sense if you don't know much about them. kthxbye ^_^
That's funny, you read enough articles on the internet - which almost always have an agenda other than to simply 'inform', be it political, or simply to cause as much hype as possible in order to sell copies/get advertising - and suddenly
you're the expert.
I'm telling you, Global warming is NOT going to end the world, and it's NOT the cause of everything bad that happens, and if you don't believe me then by all means, sob in the corner and piss your pants. It wont make a difference.
If we solve global warming, the media will just find something else that nobody cared about before which will suddenly be the cause of imminent disaster. In the past they thought steam trains moved so fast they would cause severe brain damage to the people inside.
Don't get me wrong, global warming exists, and its a problem, but so is poverty, world hunger, pollution, animal extinction - tonnes of other stuff to waste our time pissing our pants about...
