Antarctica hits 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit



Once you start to do a good deal of reading.. and begin to truly understand what is happening... there's a tendency to become numb to events going on all around you.
But then every once in awhile you come across facts that are just so eye-popping.. you just have to stop and catch your breath...


... 63.5 degrees in Antarctica !!!


.seriously... putting that number into greater perspective..

..average Antarctic high & low temperatures have historically been within a very close range (usually no more than 10 degrees apart)... that changed dramatically when global warming start
ed rearing it's nefarious head 30-40 years ago...

..from the mid 50's to the late 80's (prior to increasing effects of climate change).. the average high 'summer' temperature in Antarctica was minus 18 degrees.. (folks..saying again, that's an 'average' of -18 !!!)
..so this new staggering 63.5 high is a mind/ world-altering 75 degrees above that !!!

..and with these numbers in play.. we are faced with a serious leadership crisis on every continent.. for this dire threat is pretty much being completely disregarded or underplayed by most all of these characters holding power (political or economic)..

 
... it keeps on not much longer, the world will go back to a place last experienced millions of years ago.. totally hostile to pretty much all forms of life we know today..

... it's now unavoidable.. there are now, and will dramatically increasing to be 'major' consequences (it's now when and how much.. no longer if)... 


...are we that (I'm searching for the word.. maybe)... so asinine.. that we 'take it all the way'..
