It's entirely frightening--An Inconvenient Truth. The thing that makes me sit up and take notice is the melting of the polar ice cap and the glaciers in Antarctica. I recently read that they anticipate that the north pole will be completely thawed within 30 years. That's in all of our lifetimes.

Those of us boomers that learned how to "duck and cover" in the event of nuclear holocaust now have a new demon to consider, as if we weren't already scarred by the Cuban Missle Crisis. Ancient history, I know, but potent stuff. Ask anyone born before the mid '50's....

Just my luck to be going broke in SoCal while I freeze my skinny arse offf.
