There is two million square kilometers less sea ice in the arctic this year. The ice at the poles reflects the sun's rays and helps to keep the planet cool. Forecasters suggest all the arctic sea ice will have gone by 2045. I worry it may accelerate personally, as less and less sunlight is reflected.
Even if all governments keep to their agreed, inadequate quotas on greenhouse gasses etc, which they won't, then the future looks very uncertain, especially if you live on a low lying island, or in a low lying area near a coast or river.
We are not bequeathing the next generation a very cool outlook. Still, if recent outpourings from Boris Johnson are anything to go by we may confront Russia militarily and end the human race. Then maybe the planet will eventually recover without us. A bit of common sense would be better though.
