Unveiling his most aggressive plan yet to combat climate change, President Obama on Monday referenced recent dramatic changes that National Geographic made to its atlas because of melting sea ice.
"Shrinking ice caps forced National Geographic to make the biggest change in its atlas since the Soviet Union broke apart," Obama said during a speech at the White House. (Watch a video of his speech.)
He's right. The shrinking of the Arctic ice sheet in the 10th edition of the National Geographic Atlas of the World is one of the most striking changes in the publication's history.

The tundra as I speak is on fire, literally, and caving in because there is no permafrost and the dead zone in the lower forty eight states in the western mountains has gone to above 10,000 feet for the pine trees, because of the heat and the pine beetle infestation for the trees to survive in the lower zone, and just that barometer of the trees or pine trees says everything.
And what's really classic is there is only two responses on this thread----go figure
