That is sad news. "We had the best bears, biggest bears, whitest bears, Obama does not like anything white, he extincted them"

ReplyDeleteOn our current course, according to the science I've read (http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/2/11/e1501923.full), we'll see +6C warming (±1.2C) by the end of the century. That means that humans will probably not make it to 2100 either. In other words, we may have just voted ourselves off the planet.
