This is a nice article (http://m.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/article2447616.ece/?maneref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fm%3Fhl%3Den%26gl%3Dus%26client%3Dms-android-fih%26source%3Dandroid-launcher-widget%26action%3Ddevloc%26q%3Darctic%2Bice%2Bmelting%2Bfastest%2Bhindu) on the decrease in the volume of ice in the Arctic Ocean. How at the current rate of depletion in 30 years, there may be no Arctic Ocean left.
When we discovered oil and coal, we were ecstatic. So much energy could be derived from them. Then there was a period of furious growth in science, industry fueled by these. And now we realize that we are destroying the oceans.
How often do we come across this
Wow -> Hmm Nice -> Oh Shit
path in life!
If while at the wow phase, we could look into the "Oh Shit" phase also, would our behavior be different?
