Prepare For Even More Volatile Weather in 2017 (engadget.com)

An anonymous shares a report on Engadget: Ice isn't just great for keeping your drinks cool at parties, it also helps keep our planet cool by reflecting some of the sun's heat away. But thanks to our steadfast refusal to address climate change, there's going to be a lot less ice in the Arctic next year. Scientists are observing record high temperatures in the Arctic circle that's likely to lead to record low levels of ice coverage in 2017. Long story short, we're currently melting the wall that's helped stop the seas boiling for all of these years. Normally, by November, the global temperature has dropped sufficiently that ice can form again in the Arctic ready for the following summer. This year, however, climate scientists saw a spike to -7 celsius (19f) -- 15 degrees celsius (27f) warmer than usual. While the readings have fluctuated since November 11, they're expected to rocket up again in the next few days.

Address? Nothing to address, we're told.

Just keep partying like it's 1859. It'll be the best reality ever.

That's your takeaway? That's what you are complaining about?

"We" and "our" in this context would be THE HUMAN RACE AS A WHOLE. And again, you are projecting: "our steadfast refusal to address climate change".

Adressing climate change is not accepting it or denying it, it's addressing the issue.

Anyone attempting to argue that climate change doesn't take place is a fucking retard and should be ignored. So while you went on a well written diatribe you missed the point and were also complaining about things not even there.

Yes, global warming is all a hoax, just like round Earth theory and the Apollo moon landings.

Tell us, what other hoaxes do you think more people should be aware of?
