I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!

Earlier this morning I posted a comment on the Washington Post website about their editorial, "Arctic Ice is Melting" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/10/AR2009041003071.html. Without mentioning his name, WA PO has rejected the erroneous conclusions of one of its own columnists and taken a bold step toward informing the public of the enormous danger we're in. Though not bold enough for some of us, however. Why is it that so many intelligent, informed writers and policy makers have such difficulty following ideas to their logical conclusions? The Arctic sea ice is melting away, and it's not going to stop melting until we cool the planet down. What works in your kitchen when you drop an ice cube in a bowl of water works for the Polar Ice Cap, too. You have to change the ambient temperature to stop it melting. Things are worse in the Arctic, though, because there, the ambient temperature is being forced up rapidly by powerful positive feedback loops. You wouldn't want to try this at home. Here's some of the comment I made to the Washington Post. I hope others will sign on and comment as well: "The UK Met Office Hadley Centre has fed their data to Google Earth, and there you can see that by just next year at this time the Polar North will have heated dramatically. See our article at http://westcoastclimateequity.org/?p=2767 for instructions on how to view this interactive image..... "The hard truth is that in order to get our planet working properly again, we will have to bring atmospheric carbon dioxide down to a safe level, which climate realists estimate is below 350 parts per million. This will result in a global temperature of what it was in the early 1950's, before the Arctic sea ice began to melt. "The sooner we get started with our momentous task, the better. We must do more than just stop emitting greenhouse gases. In addition, we have to find ways to remove excess carbon from our atmosphere. Strong and immediate action by world leaders will also help mitigate the impact of global warming on the vast numbers of people who will be the most likely to suffer from its devastating effects."
