We’re Not Just Losing Our Global Air Conditioner. We’re Actively Destroying It.
Reading Time: 5 minutes
The science on the rapidly melting Arctic sea ice, our global air conditioner, was already bleak enough to warn us all to leave it alone. And yet, as a new study in Nature reveals that even the direst projections for ice loss have proved too conservative, ships are heading into the Arctic Ocean in increasing numbers to damage what’s left. The global effects include overheated oceans, storms, fires, crop failures, and disease. How much more catastrophe do we need before we decide it’s time to change our ways?
The Arctic sea ice is pivotal to our survival. It acts as a giant shield at the top of the Earth, reflecting 50% of the sun’s heat back to space. This helps keep our weather patterns stable, so we have the food, resources and infrastructure we need to live. But it’s been melting away for decades. Now, according to the Nature study, it’s vanishing even faster than scientists predicted. Only the worst-case scenario models considered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), with the highest carbon dioxide emissions, come close to the actual rate of melt.
Mali’s useless coup proves need for African unity- Obedgiu Samuel

The army has seized government in Mali. It’s a useless coup that will not last long. The sooner it’s reversed, the better it is for Mali and for Africa.
Coups that had good outcomes in Africa have been few, including Jerry Rawling’s in Ghana and Thomas Sankara’s in what was Upper Volta and became Burkina Faso. Mostly, coups have resulted merely in ineffective political elites being replaced by even more destructive military elites.
