Iceburst in a Ghost-Marsh

Earth's climate is breaking down into something most of us can only partially foresee, or try to imagine, if we think about the issue at all. It's happening fast, by still too many it's dismissed as no real danger, and it's more visible in parts of the earth with a robust winter; winter is dwindling in length and severity. Some people are inclined to celebrate because they love summer and year-round warmth. Others mourn the old weather patterns and the shrinkage or die-off of habitat that depends on cold winters. Species of plants and animals living there must adapt or die out. Not very many people seem willing to entertain the idea that climate upheaval may portend a rapid degradation of earth's climate into an unsurvivable combination of heat and violent storms; the very idea is too scary and desperately sad.
