My heart is broken. What more will it take to awaken the world to this tragedy?
What more can we do? We have dramatically speed up climate change, but it was happening naturally anyway. The globe warms and cools almost in cycles, and we’ve been trending upward for many years now. It’s tragic, but its not as if we can bring back the ice. I’m all about conservation, I just don’t understand what we can do, except stop hunting, try breeding programs and reintroduction of polar bears.
