The devastating impact of mankind on the planet is dramatically illustrated in pictures published on Saturday showing explosive urban sprawl, major deforestation and the sucking dry of inland seas over less than three decades.
Do you REALLY practice meditation? If your REALLY do, do you practice a GOOD method? Are you sure this is REALLY so?

I saw a report on the local news showing studies have found climate change linked to the melting of permafrost under roads and runways in the Northwest Territory of Canada (the farthest place up north in Canada next to Nunavut)

If the permafrost is melting it would release methane (greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere which would greatly accelerate climate change in Artic regions
