on global warming

3 days ago i watched, Al Gore speech at AAAS
http://www.aaas.org/meetings/2009/program/lectures/media/gore.ram
I invite you to see at least between 19min and 48mim.
It is a simple presentation about a very complex problem: the very rapid climate change of our planet, which by some reason we tend to postpone our awareness to.
some interesting points:
-the 10 hottest years in the atmospheric records going back 160 happened in the last 11 years!!
-there is also another interesting plot about weather related disasters, and its undeniable the astonishing increase in the last 50 years of industrialized era.

he concludes saying that we have everything we need to save our world except for political will. (but that political will is a renewable resource)

today I read that a sector of 14000 km^2 of ice got loose from Antarctica and that last year was the one with biggest ice melting ever registered.
