Environmental records are being shattered as climate change 'plays out before us'

And there are still powerful people, in the USA at least, who claim this isn't happening....

NYC was talking about building a sea wall to protect against rising sea levels and flooding from big storms like Sandy, but I haven't heard anything about it for a while. Considering the vast amount of people who live along coast lines globally, sitting back and doing nothing is going to make us vulnerable to a serious refugee crisis (which the world has already shown itself unable to handle on a smaller scale)... Not to mention the consequences of other climate change disasters not related to rising sea levels.

Ideally I'd like to think that because this is a threat to humanity on a global scale, we would be able to unite in some way to prepare and protect. I certainly believe in the potential of human creativity and ingenuity to create life saving infrastructure and systems - I don't think it's beyond our capabilities to save ourselves. But somehow, looking at how things are now, I can see it going down the opposite way.
Hopefully that's just me being dark though.

until we find a an eco friendly alternative to oil then this trend will continue until we reach the point of no return and we destroy the ozone layer completely - wait while the money men destroy both the poles drilling for their precious crude too...that will speed the climate disasters up pretty fast - I don't care what treaty is signed about no drilling in those protected areas.....money trumps everything - here in the UK we have greenbelt land that is protected by law from building , our government sells it off to the highest bidder on a regular basis giving tenuous reasons at best when they are found out

There are actual claims that the ozone layer is in fact repairing itself and getting smaller. I remember reading this story a short while back which explained that the hole was shrinking.
