How many times can we say it? were running out of time, and on more than one front, you name it and were running out of time.
so here's yet another article, this time from NASA
the gist in case your not interested in reading is that we don't have time to set long term goals like 2050, cause with current warming trends of 0.2 degrees Celsius per year that means in 5 years we will have gained another full 1 degree Celsius and according to the article ....
"That means that further global warming of 1 degree Celsius defines a critical level. If warming is kept less than that, effects of global warming may be relatively manageable. During the warmest interglacial periods the Earth was reasonably similar to today. But if further global warming reaches 2 or 3 degrees Celsius, we will likely see changes that make Earth a different planet than the one we know. The last time it was that warm was in the middle Pliocene, about three million years ago, when sea level was estimated to have been about 25 meters (80 feet) higher than today."
....... in case you want me to do some more math 3 degrees Celsius at current warming trends gives 15 years before a whole lot of people living on the coasts are actually living in the ocean.
Why doesn't this stuff bother us more..... maybe the church should start adding Boat to the list of emergency preparedness items.
