Who cares about deforestation and melting polar ice caps, when it means God is just around the corner?
In the spring and summer of recent years, the polar ice cap has receded more quickly and more dramatically.

Already we are seeing that polar ice is melting faster than expected and sea levels are rising beyond many projections.
Are you terrified by the melting polar ice cap, rising sea levels, extreme weather, and other growing threats from global warming?

Many scientists predict that the entire north polar ice cap may be completely gone during summer months in the first term of the next president.
Still, a late entry by the former vice president could add enough heat to the contest to melt a few more inches of polar ice cap.
They analyzed ancient subsea volcanic ash deposits and found a link between them and melting polar ice associated with warming climates, on an odd, millennia-long delay.
FORBES: The Link Between Global Warming, Sea Levels And Volcanoes
The destruction of the rainforest I believe is a huge problem, as is the polar ice caps melting but it's good to see the problem being addressed.
Many scientists predict -- shockingly -- that the entire North Polar ice cap may be completely gone during summer months during the first term of the next president.
Esa member-states considered its polar ice measurements to be so important to the assessment of climate change that they approved the construction of a facsimile spacecraft within months of the accident.
The agency said worse case scenarios, including the contribution of polar ice melt and thermal expansion, could result in much higher levels occurring but these were now thought to be unlikely.
Right here on Earth, surprisingly hardy life-forms have been found inside hot underground rocks, around scalding volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean, in desiccated Antarctic valleys and deep beneath polar ice.
To find out how warm the earth was before that, climatologists have had to resort to indirect methods, such as measuring tree-rings, or counting the different isotopes of oxygen in layers of polar ice.
Faced with melting polar ice caps and worsening droughts, climate experts at a massive U.N. conference in Bali, Indonesia, urged quick action toward a new international pact that seeks to stem an increasingly destructive rise in world temperatures.
Using ever fancier technologies, the oil business is drilling in deeper waters, more difficult terrain and even in the Arctic (which, as global warming melts the polar ice cap, will perversely become the next great prize in oil).
Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) is a climatologist who realizes, as a slice of the polar ice cap slides into the sea, that the end of the world (or, at any rate, of that half of the world that drives S.U.V.s) is nigh.
Their discovery was mostly chance (few were seen in the act of falling) but their dark forms mean they will have caught the eye of meteorite hunters who scour desert sands and polar ice fields for rare rocks that can trade for tens of thousands of dollars.
To be more specific, the article discusses a study published in the journal Science states that higher temperatures over the past two decades have contributed to a nearly half-inch rise in global sea levels since 1992, attributing about 30% of that increase to melting of polar ice sheets.

Were the industry to think things through and conduct its due diligence on this treaty, it would also be self-evident that LOST will impose severe costs on American oil companies, leaving the consumer stranded at the pump with even higher gasoline prices, after having been led to believe that salvation lies beneath the polar ice.
He is impressed by everything there that is overarching, awe-inspiring, intimidating, overpowering, crushingly colossal, or incomprehensibly strange, and his crabby, self-righteous misanthropy, which comes through in every frame, rises to apocalyptic dimensions: learning of the perils to polar ice caps posed by global warming, he foresees with barely repressed glee the extinction of humanity through climate change.
"Polar sea ice has an important function in moderating the global energy balance, " he said.
