The process of global warming is simply ruining our planet. Soon, the polar bears will have no habitat, Canada will become temperate, and portions of the earth will be unsuitable for habitation. Species will become extinct by the droves, both plant and animal. We will completely change the ecology of our home to the point of no return........if we are supposedly the only species that is able to think at higher levels, why are we the only species that is so entrenched in greed and instant gratification that we are so willing to trash our environment, and so unwilling to save it while we still have a chance?

You need a little perspective here.
.The full Wilkins 6,000 square mile ice shelf is just 0.39% of the current ice sheet (just 0.1% of the extent last September). Only a small portion of it between 1/100th-1/200th of Wilkins has separated so far, like an icicle falling off a snow and ice covered house. And this winter is coming on quickly. In fact the ice is returning so fast, it is running an amazing 60% ahead (4.0 vs 2.5 million square km extent) of last year when it set a new record. The ice extent is already approaching the second highest level for extent since the measurements began by satellite in 1979 and just a few days into the Southern Hemisphere winter and 6 months ahead of the peak. Wilkins like all the others that temporarily broke up will refreeze soon. We are very likely going to exceed last year’s record. Yet the world is left with the false impression Antarctica’s ice sheet is also starting to disappear.
