Glacier Meltdown: The Plot Twist No One Saw Coming
Scientists just found out that when glaciers melt, the newly exposed land actually helps suck up carbon dioxide at first—sounds good, right? But plot twist: over time, that same land starts pumping out methane, which is even worse for the planet. Basically, melting glaciers are giving us a temporary climate break before making things even hotter. The real question now? How all these gases—CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide—team up to mess with our climate long-term. Wild, right? #Science #ClimateChange #Glaciers

20,000 years ago, North America was covered by an ice sheet 4 miles deep in some places. When it melted, the oceans rose hundreds of feet. Yeah, the climate does change. Only humans have the hubris to think we can somehow cause or stop it.

The earth will continue to try and kill us as long as we keep cutting down trees and laying down concrete. We're supposed to live in harmony with the earth, not try to overtake it.

did they tell you the earth was once covered in ice. and it's been melting ever since. so this is nothing that has no been happening for centuries.

The southern ice cap is rebuilding at a record rate and scientist. Don’t know why coldest summer in 40 years on the West Coast global warming over the world goes through cycles. It’s gonna start to cool off if the southern hemisphere gets too heavy and then the polls might shift the equator moves and part of the world will fry and part of it will freeze. We’re along for the ride people.

We’ve been hearing their scary stories for decades. By now, according to them, we should have all died years ago. They must need more money.

Scientists can measure the types of carbon in the air, and an increase in total carbon in the air can be directly traced to fossil fuels and to the industrial revolution.
Easy to verify.

Glaciers are melting since all the satellites and space junk in orbit reflect the sun's light back to earth. Oh yeah, I'm wrong on that.
