Twixster Takes Over

I was reading over the top environmental headlines of the day on my favorite green news website http://www.grist.org (check it out if you haven’t already!) and their headline story caught my eye: The U.S. Climate Change Science Program has put out a comprehensive report predicting the future of climate change.  In the theme of every report put out about climate change in the last five years, the news is bad.  Taken straight from the NOAA news website (http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov) specific future predictions include: abnormally hot days and nights, the possibility of the complete disappearance of sea ice in the Artic Ocean, more frequent droughts, more intense hurricanes and ocean induced weather events (read: tsunamis) and less frequent and more violent precipitation episodes.  Top climate scientists and officials are simply calling the situation severe and scary.  What is there left to do?  I try to stay positive about the idea that it’s not too late to change but the changes are going to have to be so major, truly baseline shifts in human activity-how do we do it?  I’m going to marinate and come up with some answers for next week.
