        few times, and that’s to dismiss it, and their presidential

        The Democratic Party platform talks about it much more
        realistically, categorizing it as a threat to our nation and our
        world. I have issues with Hillary Clinton’s climate change
        strategy, but those are minor to the point of nonexistent
        compared with the flat-out denial and active promotion of fossil
        fuels from the GOP. Accepting there’s a problem is step one, and
        even a slow approach is better than fueling the fire.
        Literally...Look up your senators, your representative. Find out
        where they stand on this issue. Contact them, write a letter
        (that’s the most effective means of getting your voice heard),
        supporting them if they understand the reality of climate
        change, or briefly and politely letting them know how you feel
        if they don’t...And if you hear someone denying climate change,
        may I humbly suggest searching this very blog for more info with
        which to give them facts, and links to more information? Other
        good sources include NASA’s climate site, NOAA’s climate site,
        Skeptical Science, DesmogBlog, RealClimate, and Climate
        Central...It’s not too late. If we choose wisely, that is..<br>

      <blockquote>During the last deglaciation, between roughly 21,000
        and 10,000 years ago, there was a rise in atmospheric carbon.
        This surge brought CO2 levels up to where they were in
        preindustrial times and contributed to the warming that ended
        the glacial period....Consequently, the researchers conclude
        that the melting permafrost is probably a major factor in carbon
        fluxes during glacial periods....The simulations also estimated
        the effects of this permafrost feedback on the present-day
        environment and into the future and determined that the effect
        should increase the amount of future emissions by about 10
        percent to 40 percent. This increase is dependent on how much
        humans contribute to warming—the more we heat things up, the
        more permafrost melts, and thus the more CO2 is
        released....Without humans’ effects on the CO2 levels, the
        simulation predicts the soil will absorb more carbon, the
        permafrost would expand, and the global climate would cool
        slightly...LETTERS PUBLISHED ONLINE: 22 AUGUST 2016 | DOI:
