There are still a significant number of climate change and global warming disbelievers. Some disbelievers think climate change and global warming are a lie and nothing more than propaganda to push a liberal agenda, while some folks believe that global warming is natural or of a non-anthropogenic origin. However, the science is clear (just as clear as the science on evolution) that the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide is a dominating factor that warms the earth.

Our children should be learning about climate change and global warming early in school to debunk illogical conclusions. Both climate change and evolution shouldn’t be controversial issues (even for Christians, because why wouldn’t God allow species to change over time for their survival, and we have a duty to protect the environment), since both evolution and climate change are observable facts. However, republicans would certainly make teaching climate change and global warming as part of a curriculum an issue as they have evolution. As a result, we regress as a society. We can’t afford another republican administration. From the Mail Online:

Startling satellite pictures taken three days ago show that melting ice has opened up the fabled North-West and North-East Passages – making it possible to sail around the Arctic ice cap.

.       .       .

The pictures, produced by Nasa, mark the first time in at least 125,000 years that the two shortcuts linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans have been ice-free at the same time.

In 2005, the North-East Passage around Russia opened, while the western one, across the top of Canada, remained closed, and last year the position was reversed.

.       .       .

Shipping companies are ready to exploit the new routes. The Beluga group, based in Bremen, Germany, plans to send the first ship through the North-East passage next year, cutting 4,000 nautical miles off the voyage from Germany to Japan.

.       .       .

Others believe it could take as little as five years for the Pole, currently frozen all year round, to be ice-free between mid-July and mid-September.

Four weeks ago, tourists had to be evacuated from Baffin Island’s Auyuittuq National Park in northern Canada because of flooding from thawed glaciers.
