Sea ice cover at both poles hit record winter lows:

The disappearing sea ice comes as the planet marks three consecutive years of record-breaking heat, raising fresh concerns about the accelerating pace of global warming. Ref. Source 1r.

Forests fight global warming in ways more important than previously understood

Trees impact climate by regulating the exchange of water and energy between Earth's surface and the atmosphere, an important influence that should be considered as policymakers contemplate efforts to conserve forested land, said the authors of an international study. Ref. Source 7a.

Global Warming: Natural Or Man-made? History & Civil Business Politics

And this may be another way we are impacting the climate. We are deforesting this planet of ours at an alarming rate, and that scares the heck out of me. Trees do so much for us. Is it possible that humanity is suicidal? We certainly seem to have suicidal tendencies as a species… and I'm not fooling when I say this.

I still think Agent Smith's quote from the Matrix is the best:

It is so true. We don't try to live in harmony with nature, we dominate nature and bend it to our will, using up all the resources until our host dies and we move on. That worked fine when we were few and we could move back and forth in a pattern allowing the areas we used up to regrow, but we are now so large that we take up the entire planet and nowhere is left to move and let the planet regrow. We're going to have to terraform another planet before we run out of time and resources on this one. We seem incapable as a species of caring enough about what we do to stop out 'progress' and heal the planet. Just look at Trump's most recent Executive Order putting industrial progress over environmental protection (Yet again).

Yes, it's past time for us to get off of this rock in large numbers. We need to learn to move about the galaxy quickly and colonize those worlds that can colonized or we will do something here that causes our extinction. Of course, leaving causes its own set of issues.

Global Warming: Natural Or Man-made?

I like the quote from the Matrix in conjunction with this Topic. Other creatures will take what they need and leave the rest to be, but when it comes to man they must consume not just for themselves but for profit. Sometimes it is simply because they can. Thus we have caused something previously unknown - extinction of a species - not just for other creatures but now for ourselves. Consumerism drives the need to have what men want at all costs even to the point of death to the planet.

Yes, rampant consumerism is a huge problem for humanity and everything else on the planet. The fact we would hunt animals like whales, elephants, and rhinos to near extinction for our fictitious needs is testament to where we are as a species.

Some of what causes global warming has to do with angle and pitch of the earth and the changing of the solace so its not all mankind's fault.
