Ancient Ice Shelf Breaks Free from Canadian Arctic

According to scientists, this “disturning event” shows “we are crossing climate thresholds.”

The whole idea of global warming scares me to bits. The shameful part of it is that we have known for decades what we are doing to our home and yet we still continue to pollute and poison it. Shameful.
