Stop the frenzy to extract heat-absorbing oil/gas from the Arctic now.

When Will Human Economies Count More Than The Self to Save the Self?
Humans invented human cash systems thousands of years ago as a tool for symbolizing obvious exchanges of "goods and services" to obtain needed supplies for needs to consume.
But the artificial and mechanical metal symbols of number after number repeatedly fail to count the most critical flows produced by nature that humans need to survive day to day and minute to minute.....such as breathable, photosynthetic oxygen as O2, drinkable water as H2O, rich, organic topsoil and soil makers to grow food and shelter..... to keep humans alive day to day and minute to minute.
Ironically, our human cash systems count the most critical flows the least and the least critical structures the most, the most deadly structures the most:
Ironically, human cash counts the most critical and hidden flow, O2 the least, photosynthetic, breathable oxygen as O2 (and only as O2).....even though humans die within minutes without O2.
Ironically, human cash counts the next most critical and hidden flow, water as H2O the next least....even though humans die within days without H2O...
Ironically, human cash counts the next most critical and hidden flow, soil production, the next least....rich, organic topsoil and soil makers that humans need to grow food and shelter.....even though humans die within months without food.
Ironically, human cash systems count the least critical and most deadly structures the most..... bloody diamonds and gold, dirty and dead energy fossilized to tar and explosive methane causing catastrophes left and right, dirty oil wars, clean coal that isn't, fricken fracken that enslaves entire communities and continents to fracken-caused earthquakes, sinkholes and toxic holocausts for privatized profiteering for only 1%....at taxpayer expense.....shifting costs and consequences onto the unsuspecting, the taxpayers, the innocent....destroying their own childrens' future. Absolutely stunning.
How could our "economy" have missed such an important fact? Humans need more than empty, mechanical, artificial, cruel numbers of an artificial and mechanical system of metal coins to survive. Humans need nature to nurture humans and other inhabitants and habitats to keep life and land functional.
Any system, artificial or of nature need critical flows to function....so that structure and function of cells or metal can work together more logically to produce positive and useful outcomes now and generations from now. Nature heals broken worlds to enable life's flows between infinitely intricate and vast networks of cellular organisms exchanging critical flows continually, guided by nature's amazing genius hidden in genetic potentials of every seed, seedling, soil that wants to reach up toward the sun to produce abundant riches of earth .....for All 100% to share....even with the 1%......to fill in hungry voids of the negative.
But some just don't get it and limit their vision to the walls and barriers of the private self to block the other from getting in and the self from getting out.
Humans need to reach beyond the obvious of only one comfy place, however, to discover wonders of nature enough to develop scientific literacy....enough to grow vision and wisdom enough to lead the many toward a safer future.
Instead, our cash system that was invented to obtain pleasure and orgasm for the privatized and privilege exclusively is killing us:
Human cash systems crush to divide to count and count to divide to conquer to crush the competition....the motive of a cash system manufacture more and more raw numbers and volumes regardless of meaning.
We need to edit our economic system so that it counts more than human cash.....so that it can value the invaluable, the priceless impossible to count in cash.
If humans cannot expand our nation's vision beyond the private, immediate, obvious walls of Wall Street's cash-flow floods, then our privatized, metallic, speeding spheres will rip apart our public infrastructure foundations and the fragile but critical web for all life of nature that produces all critical flows....critical flows we need to keep humans alive day to day and minute to minute.
Life's nature and nature's living, functional, cellular systems enable humans to assign meaning and significance to the raw numbers and raw alphabetical symbols that humans have invented.....only if able to find safe and affordable access to the critical flows such as O2, H2O, soil, food, shelter to keep humans alive day to day and minute to minute.

Climate Heating Does Cause Ice to Melt and Drown Entire Cities Around Our Globe: Duh
Climate heating caused by humans is causing ice on earth to melt....and propaganda of the oil and gas and coal industries won't stop the melting.
The oil and gas and coal industries cannot change the laws of physics ...and the National Geographic has illustrated NASA's James Hansen's warnings that humans are causing ice to melt with carbon emissions of the Industrial Revolution that heats our climate.
The cash-driven profiteers can rewrite human history, propaganda and human laws....but cannot change the laws of physics, laws of nature or moral laws of reciprocity:
