Fragility of… The Cycle of Water

From the melting of the poles, to changing the power of the gulfstream

We are already starting to feel the impact of global warming with an increased power and frequency of rain and snowstorms.
While climate change sceptics were still saying a few years ago that we would not feel these impacts in our lifetime, leaving the problem to next generations to deal with; we can already start to see it now.

If we are not changing our relation to water quickly Humans would not be better than the frog in the fable with the pot, not realizing we are starting to make our planet boil.
