Collapseologists are warning humanity that business-as-usual will make the Earth uninhabitable.
Hundreds of scientists, writers and academics from 30 countries sounded a warning to humanity in an open letter published in the Guardian in December: Policymakers and the rest of us must “engage openly with the risk of disruption and even collapse of our societies.” “Damage to the climate and environment” will be the overarching cause, and “researchers in many areas” have projected widespread social collapse as “a credible scenario this century.”

Welp, Scientists Found 28 New Virus Groups in a Melting Glacier
This is how the world ends.
From Tibet to the Arctic to Antarctica, glaciers and ice caps around the world are melting at alarming rates. Scientists are racing the clock and climate change to collect, identify, and catalogue the microbes found in ancient ice. Having a record of these bacteria, viruses, and fungi paints a sharper picture of our prehistoric past and could be valuable for use in studying future pathogens.

- Do you have a link to this data? looks interesting. We need to start building that extra 0.7237 of an earth soon or we're fucked!Ianbolton
- spaceX, China National Space Administration, Indian Space Research Organisation...all looking at extraterrestrial possibilitiesuan
- Considering we talk of the miracle that our planet is so perfect for our own existence, the possibilities of terraforming Mars - for example, sounds a little...Ianbolton
- ridiculous.Ianbolton
- first it's about survival...later generations can enjoy a comfortable next 1st world life.uan
- meanwhile newly developed technology from space will help make 20th cent. consumerism culture on the planet obsolete. in 1-3 generations maybe.uan

I dont think anything gonna change soon. we're all too deep into the capitalist system. just look around you.
each time an american buy an electric car, 10 Indians and Chinese buy a SUV, this is just one example.
and the cause has been associated to the Left ... all the Right despise anything regarding climate change... so that's a lot of people who dont give a shit and just think its all fake news.
Things will start to really change when the new generation will get the political power... in like 20-35 years ...
so yeah, good luck to all of us.
- and people will act when it personally touch them in their daily routine. because its not obvious enough yet for the masses.Bennn
- nothings going to change soon because the process of climate change is well under way, pretty much unstoppable at this rate.hans_glib
- We don't all not care about the environment on the right ok. You should stop being so judgemental of people who don't think like you, you might learn something.zarkonite
- Well, the majority of the Right doesnt believe/care in Climate change. Not all Righties. Sorry zarkonite.Bennn
- Once there's huge population shifts folk will maybe believe, but by then they'll be setting up concentration camps to get rid of the refugees.PhanLo
- The opinion you just wrote is almost exactly what the right is saying, Canada is small and other than being nice there's not much we can do to help with thezarkonite
- problem. In the meantime the carbon tax is useless and just makes people suffer.zarkonite
- Lol Zarkon, there's plenty people can do, but no one's planning fuck all. Just deal with it when it comes.PhanLo
- LOL Phanlo. All of Canada produces under 1.6% of global emissions, you could nuke this entire country and the impact wouldn't register.zarkonite
- Just start dumping your rubbish in rivers and feeding bears plastic. Canada is too clean.PhanLo
- i wonder where you would be without capitalism benn. or how it really provides in your daily lifedeathboy

- difference is today we have alternatives.
'millenials' calling for action is just how nature works, they see the necessity and possibility to act.uan - it's not any more 'shut down the industries', it's about let's change the way we produce energy. let us use a safe and clean method.uan
- I think i saw this picture regarding climate change viral stuff. But what does it mean? If you take the numbers and graph them based on time would it correlatedeathboy
- our weather? Or average temp? Was this localized and what type of measurements for such "pre-sci" era. is this just a aged 9 year old students paper about strawdeathboy
- s that every news station copied without fact checking because journalistic integrity still matters.deathboy
- I stand by the issue as being largely used for financial gain by a few people who have 0 regard for those it damages which are mostly the poordeathboy
- im not denying our effect on climate change, i deny our ability to control such a thing even with full compliance to any party who says they know howdeathboy
- but we are a system in this planet. our growth has happened do to our choices. to rescind those choices by law or decree might effectively eliminate many ppldeathboy
- or in france create social unrest which might create other issues. the idea we can change our methods against current systems and feel no pain is stupid.deathboy
- the route proposed as if you havent noticed is shit ton of tax incentives for rich while fucking the poor. that will never end well. so many more poor than richdeathboy
- one reason you get populist shit like trump. forget the feel goodies. only look at it logically. also consider people who wrote articles earth was flat back thadeathboy

Iceberg the size of Delaware to break off from Antarctica
A large sheet of ice is set to break away from Antarctica and scientists say it will be one of the largest breaks of its kind recorded.
Larsen C -- a sprawling sheet of ice in western Antarctica -- is currently attached to its parent shelf by 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) of ice, according to UK-based research team Project MIDAS.
Once it splits, the crack will produce an iceberg around 5,000 square kilometers (1,930 square miles) -- approximately the size of the state of Delaware.- As reported on Breitbart Newsutopian

For just the third time on record, scientists say they are now watching the unfolding of a massive worldwide coral bleaching event, spanning the globe from Hawaii to the Indian Ocean. And they fear that thanks to warm sea temperatures, the ultimate result could be the loss of more than 12,000 square kilometers, or over 4,500 square miles, of coral this year — with particularly strong impacts in Hawaii and other U.S. tropical regions, and potentially continuing into 2016.
