The book six degrees should be required reading for the entire world.  Honestly, the possibility that we have reached the tipping point of global warming is scary, but not even trying to do anything to stop it is scarier.  The author, Mark Lynas, went through all the papers that have been written on global warming recently and then put the effects into a degree by degree narrative of what will happen if we fail to act.  The conclusion is that this is a time for radicalism, because only radical thinking will save humanity.

New data suggests summer sea ice might be gone from the poles in as little as 5 years.  Yikes.
