I realize that lately we read and hear quite a bit of doom and gloom in regards to the state of our environment, I still wanted to link this story because maybe I/you/we need to listen better. I really, really, like where I live and seeing as I have no scuba gear, please help me save my home.
The article states that the overwhelming consensus among leading scientists is that we can do nothing to stop global warming and its resulting sea level rise. Are these the same leading scientists that denied global warming even existed until the facts became too blatant to refute? They had an overwhelming consensus then too, we need to prove them wrong again. Apathy is never the solution. Perseverance got our world to where we finally admit we have a problem, perseverance now needs to get us to a sustainable solution.
