'Glacier
Guardians' wrap a vertical glacier - trying to save it until man
comes to his senses and starts reversing global warming.
The
Earth's supply of fresh water dwindles rapidly. There are those who
are convinced this is due to man made global warming. On the other
hand I know people holding responsible positions including a self
made fellow who runs one of the world's largest mining enterprises;
they say: "this sort of thing happens every twenty thousand years
or so, no one's to blame and it will correct itself in its own time."
Guess we educators have a lot to answer for: permitting so many decision
makers to go half educated.
Note: The water that quenches five hundred million of us comes from
glaciers in nearby mountains. The mighty Amazon starts off as a glacier
stream in Peru. And the water that is starting to raise oceans
above their sea walls is being released from melting glaciers at the
Earth's north and south poles.
