    It's interesting to go back in time (July 2007)"...they can and are being destroyed directly by humans (see here)."
    Check out the comments under that old post. Look at how much we've learned since then.

    Lacking seriousnessAs with the tundra feedback, this is terrifying stuff.
    Even politicians who take climate change relatively seriously don't treat it as anywhere near as threatening as it really is. Faced with existential threats to civilization, the balance between promoting economic growth and protecting climatic stability should be tilted heavily in the direction of the latter.
