In order to determine what can be done to address climate change, the cause and severity has to be determined. However, it seems that those who study these things are more concerned with proving that those who oppose them are wrong than actually getting to the truth.

Be that as it may, a number of very qualified scientists who are sincerely seeking the truth rather than struggling to enter the spotlight have been working diligently to analyze the data in order to come up with a level-headed way to address the issues associated with climate change.

Many of the reports released to the public are no doubt from scientists who are closely linked to politicians associated with climate change issues and the IPCC. Numerous other scientists seriously question some of these reports. Many of them suggest that climate change is far worse than stated by the IPCC while others claim it isn't nearly as serious as they would have us believe.

What are we to deduce from all of this?

For every fame and fortune-seeking scientist there are probably a hundred honest truth-seeking ones who will come forward to refute any false claims. Since they don't have as much clout as the ostentatious ones who follow self glory rather than truth, it may be a while before they are heard but they WILL be heard.

Therefore, the only thing that can be done to address climate change is to let the scientists and politicians sort through the facts until the truth comes out. We can't find a solution until we find out what the problem is and right now we aren't in agreement as to what the problem really is.

Currently we have a handful of facts mingled with conjecture mixed with some exaggeration, hype and even outright lies. Once the facts have been gleaned from all of this, climate change can be addressed. Let's just pray that by the time we finally reach this point it isn't too late.

Not long ago, some brave scientists actually took their lives into their own hands in the name of climate change and challenged the frozen wilderness of the arctic in order to measure the thickness of the ice and get reliable data. Submarines and satellites gather general data but it's just not good enough. If the ice is indeed melting faster than predicted then time is a luxury we simply cannot afford.

Anyone with any knowledge at all about the harsh environment of the arctic along with all that would be entailed in such a journey can readily understand the devotion of these brave men and women. But at the same time we
