Cooling down the planet later, even if it could work, does not refreeze ice that's melted, and, according to the Harvard scientist below, fully melted Arctic ice will destroy life on earth.

Tony Aiello spoke with Ms. Becky about the tragic passing of Bear 211 and how we can better coexist with wildlife. Bear 211 was a wild bear with quite the social media following. Thousands tracked his travels and exploits on Facebook as he roamed CT. https://t.co/GzidQiAZFw

@CTAudubon and @CTDEEPNews are great resources for further reading into this budding crisis. If CT residents are able to act quickly and report deaths or sick birds we can hopefully prevent this disease from taking root in our state.

Could investing early in green energy yield a system that’s cheaper than the fossil fuel system it replaces?
