Skies - chapter 12

This chapter is really motivating to do something positive for the environment. With the technology of today, each and every one of us should be able to help out in a small way that, combined, will amount to something awesome. I mean, I really don't like the idea of comparing Earth's atmosphere to a warm, exploding, soda can. And no one told me that it could be possible that this could get to a point of no return. "And if the oceanic temperature is raised, the water will let go of some of that CO2 just like a diet soda does. (...) What if that was enough to tip us into a cycle of intense greenhouse warming? The cycle might be unstoppable." OMG! Was anyone going to announce this or just leave it to a few college students to worry about?! I really want to know more about this topic specifically.

It seems like, especially with everything else going on with global warming, that people would be running tests to disprove or prove this issue. And maybe they are, but I think the general public should know exactly what is going on. If nothing else, it would cause a few more people to jump up and do something!
