“”The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, often called the “Doomsday Glacier,” is one of the most fragile ice formations on Earth. Covering an area roughly the size of Florida, it contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by over two feet if it completely melts. Its collapse could also destabilize neighboring glaciers, potentially causing sea

Because of the warming in the Arctic, the Polar Vortex has been coming down deeper into the United States every winter. This is causing freezing temperatures in Texas and other southern states. These have been costly and deadly. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0nmcTBe45VxSgYjeC5PLgUXF9PdHSZpijFJ6N4jF1XBHLVjQwk8M8ADMmHcXH2LF4l&id=100059465982787&post_id=100059465982787_pfbid0nmcTBe45VxSgYjeC5PLgUXF9PdHSZpijFJ6N4jF1XBHLVjQwk8M8ADMmHcXH2LF4l&mibextid=6yaNxA

Sabine H gives us a rant about climate change. Some models give a climate sensitivity of 5 or more degrees C, meaning that we have much less time to get to net zero. If we don’t then parts of the Earth will become uninhabitable even sooner than predicted. This may lead to widespread crop failures,
