"We absolutely need to act immediately." With those words, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pleads for the icy tundra of Antartica. In the age of climate warming, it is the fastest warming place on earth. "What happens in Antartica doesn't stay in Antartica," he says.
In the fashion of Vegas, the we are gambling with the world's climate. The ice and the cold waters in the Antarctic Peninsula drive the oceans currents and regulate the world's climate.
Draw your cards. Roll the dice. Pull the lever. Gamble with the world's fate, if you will. You can get rid of greenhouse gases, if you will. You can end the world's dependence on fossil fuels. Or you can gamble. You can play Russian roulette. Go ahead an take your pick and live with the consequences.
