Opinion: Slaking a thirst a growing challenge
Last week I had a story on Glacier National Park’s glaciers breaking up — a little less than half of the named glaciers in the park have broken into pieces and I suspect it’s even worse now, since the study was based on images taken a few years ago, and last I checked, summers weren’t getting any cooler. Last year was the warmest on record for good old planet Earth.
Still, the reactions were what I would suspect on Fakebook. The tired old argument that the Earth has warmed before and this is just a cycle.
That’s true, the Earth has been warm before, but there’s a big old wildcard nowadays, right? Today there’s 8 billion people and counting on the good old Earth.
