Massive Permafrost Thaw Documented in Canada, Portends Huge Carbon Release

4. Time to shade the poles with upper atmosphere particulates, etc.

Time is running out to be able to do anything. A huge methane release is going to make it "game over" for most of the earth's life. I'm sure some of the mega rich will survive. They will probably then put up some shade to make things livable again. The meek are supposed to inherit the earth, though.

Another thing that might save the current ecosystem is a limited nuclear exchange. That is not my preferred solution.

Anyway. Mr. Trump came along at the absolutely worst time for preservation of life on a global scale.

What to do?

Vladimir would probably go to war with anyone that threatened to block the arctic with year round ice again. I really can't imagine what these plutocrats envision their future to be on a burned out scrap of a planet. Oh, well. Fiddle dee dee. Tomorrow is another day, until there isn't one.
