Antarctic Ice Sheet-Point of No Return?

Have you heard?  NASA reports in a study of West Antarctic Ice Sheet that the melting trend is irreversible.  http://bbc.in/1sGMMp6

At the start of my video on this blog, I say  "Antarctica's melting".  At the time, I felt the words were strong.  Now I understand we are at a point of no return.  

So, what are the questions?  Who cares if this is 200-500 years out?  What does this mean for the next 100 years?  What thought patterns can we hold that could make this a positive adventure?  What's possible to learn from the knowledge and history the ice holds?  What part could human consciousness play in this unfolding research?  

Even though my focus on Antarctica is more than a hobby, I feel both sadness and curiosity of this current news.  Let's continue to stay aware of ourselves, each other and our collective strength for positive outcomes.

The conversation for me starts with- What does this mean for how we collectively create our future?  My interest lies in the ways our thoughts and feelings shift as we learn.
