Holy sh*t. This should be terrifying all of us. It’s the harbinger of the end of civilization. Instead, it’s almost entirely ignored so that paid pundits can talk endlessly about who did best in the debates. So I just sent a donation. Because he gets it.

I'm assuming 12 Billion tons is metrics tons, yes? In that case, for the sake of the metric phobic US, that would equal approximately 3,170,040,000,000 – 3.17 TRILLION – gallons of water. In a single day. Water that had been tied up in ice. Just think about that for a moment.
