What do you make of the profile in the ocean, near the North Pole; who’s face is that –God or the devil? Also what’s with the black holes up there.. Is the world ending next year? I have a bad feeling about all this bad weather.. I so hope I am wrong…I’m a worried realist mom..

The fact that global sea level is rising by 1.3 millimeters on average per year is dangerous to mankind and our ecosystem. And that this rate of rise in sea level is continuously increasing is something that we should be worrying about. Al Goreâ??s The Inconvenient Truth also illustrates the effects of the melting ice caps on human civilizations. It is predicted in his film that in a short number of years, cities around the world will be underwater. It appears that, based on this article, these effects will occur even sooner than expected. I find it disappointing that many times throughout history and again in this situation, humans deal with large scale problems only once their effects are felt and something is needed to be done. This, among many other environmental issues, are unsolved and will remain that way until we are forced to make an ultimatum. Hopefully people with authoritative positions will soon realize a step should be taken in advance to prevent a bigger problem from occurring in the future. More worldwide collaboration on the topic would be a start.
