We are desperately screwing up this planet, but, man, that is not science. That is a bunch of pretty pics from an expedition.<p>The ice breaks up every year. They're observing weather, not climate.<p>All the superlatives come from anecdotal observation and that is not science--there's no control group. We have zero idea if we're looking at long period fluctuations.<p>Meanwhile, we're looking at an arthropod apocalypse, a bug barbecue, a mass extinction. We have evidence for that one, because we can observe populations separated far enough apart to be isolated from local variations.<p>We have evidence of plastic in the ocean. Of drug-resistant organisms. Of the loss of biodiversity. We can see what we're doing to this planet out every window. Where are the monarchs? Where are the frogs?<p>In short, we have overwhelming evidence for every environmental atrocity taking place right now... except for climate change.<p>Focusing on climate change is just a convenient way of temporizing while we debate the evidence.<p>Doing nothing about a future problem while staring out the window at a mass extinction is just peak stupidity.
