Around the world, you can see a refusal to adjust to the reality of rising sea levels- it is not a problem that can be fixed. Eventually cities and towns will have to be abandoned for dryer land. By summer, the likelihood of complete ice melt in the arctic is almost certain, and other glaciers melting (Greenland, the Alps, Mt Everest ) also contribute.....this is man made climate disaster ( pollutants since the Industrial revolution of the  1800s, but particularly the oil and gas boom of the 50s and 60s-which Exxon and other companies KNEW would be catastrophic to the atmosphere by the late 60s - and covered up what their research revealed-this time nature controls the narrative. This is a time when we should be showing grace and humility for what the worst of humans have done to the planet, but for now, instead, it is the usual war on and with nature.
