Arctic ice melt shatters records...and my nerves.

Recently i've been focusing less on climate impacts and more on solutions/politics here.

There are a lot of climate impacts, and they tend to be depressing and quite scary...depressed and scared people arent really likely to act to improve the situation: that isn't a motivational combination.

However, one recent story really caught my attention...reports are going around that this years arctic ice melt has been the fastest and largest yet, breaking records set just a couple of years ago. Roughly an extra million sqaure miles of ice have melted as compared to the average minimum.

All of which means that there is ohh...some slight measure of urgency in making a rapid international agreement starting at the special UN summit currently underway.
