Comments on: In Alaska, magnets detect permafrost melt http://www.futurity.org/earth-environment/in-alaska-magnets-detect-permafrost-melt/ Research news from leading universities Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:46:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Anthony http://www.futurity.org/earth-environment/in-alaska-magnets-detect-permafrost-melt/comment-page-1/#comment-570952 Anthony Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:39:50 +0000 http://www.futurity.org/?p=290982#comment-570952 It seems to me an understanding of "science's" need to collect evidence and gradually uncover the truth is missing in the general population. In fact they even seem incapable of grasping different degrees of certainty. We do not know if and how much positive feedback loops will effect the changing climate but we know it could be massive. yet, many of us are ignorant or dismissive of even the better known facts. The awareness of the pubic of science and its methods has never being so important.

I wish we could reverse the trend before it's too late. I’m so glad they’re doing this research even though the results are a bit frightening. I wish we could reverse the trend before it’s too late.
