Colonialism in Action

In Democracy Now! today you can see the data on an experiment illustrating a very old human phenomenon.

Colonialism.

Greed and Love. Those are ingredients. Whichever wins defines the future. Haiti is the canary in the mine. You can see, in this report by Amy Goodman, how your family, or your children's families will survive, or not, the coming catastrophes.

"Jakobshavn, a tongue of the Greenland ice sheet off western Greenland, has retreated six miles in the past 10 years. That's pretty dramatic stuff, even in a part of the world that has long been the canary in the cold mine for climate change. According to NASA, scientists think 10% of the ice loss from Greenland is happening at Jakobshavn, and that it's the single largest contributor to rising sea levels across the northern hemisphere.  This is an interesting illustration of Jakobshavn's major calving events since 1850. (1851 is the black line on the left; 2009 is the red line at the far right.)"
