This is fantastic footage Amazing

they are freaking out
the Glaciers on land are being held back by Wilkins but if this goes we could get a rush of sea level rise of 20 feet

1. Well, how very delightful.

It's good to know we have great footage of the means by which millions may die. That is the important thing.

2. Yes, totally offensive. We should just ignore it until it goes away. n/t

3. chilling.

and i don't mean it as a bad pun. it really is scary to see that footage, which does a good job conveying the magnitude of the problem.

5. wheres ryan seacrest when you need him?

i dont know whether its him, or american idol, but perhaps we need the seacrest to be doing reports about these issues, then maybe all those brainwashed couch potatoes might take notice

perhaps we need an antarctic idol, it worked for happy feet
