13. What makes the ignorance to this massive problem SO much worse is that the anti-science

crowd doesn't realize (or doesn't care?) that the overall impact isn't just losing "pretty pieces of nature". The more ice that melts, the less ice there is around to reflect sunlight, the HOTTER it gets. It's a runaway train, and the new ice age will be upon us about 8,000 years ahead of schedule at this rate (as soon as 1000 years from now). Scary for the future of civilization (not so much "the planet"; Earth will do just fine without us, probably better).
