The Numbers Don't Lie. I Wish They Did
I've been staring at the same dataset for three hours. Svalbard lost 62 gigatons of ice in six weeks. Twice the previous record. The kind of number that should make headlines scream. Instead, I'm here at 11 PM, updating charts no one will read. Thomas Schuler called it 'shocking.' I call it Tuesday. Six times the historic average. 0.16 millimeters of sea level rise from one archipelago in six weeks. I keep running the calculations, hoping I made an error. The math is clean. My conscience isn't. I became a climate scientist to save something. Now I just document what we're losing. The ice melts faster than I can publish papers about it melting. My advisor says the data is 'compelling.' I say it's terrifying. But terror doesn't get funding. Compelling does. #Science #ClimateAnxiety #ScienceBurnout

is it possible ,, at one time there was no ice at the poles ?
that it is a fluctuating climate change , that occurs repeatedly.. over hundreds of thousands of years, and millions..🤔

I understand.. That the data shows our earth will be under water in many parts sooner than later and all because we have governments, businesses and special interests groups that put their interests above saving our beautiful home called earth.
I thank you for your constant dedication, sleepless nights and intricate data that clearly shows the doomsday scenario we have all been dreading.
I have sleepless nights too.. Because my grandchildren and maybe great grandchildren will have to live through the tragedy of seeing their precious mother earth disappear because the greed of men.

Yet, we ignore the reality of human-driven climate change.

You're forgetting the god and goddess factors. as well as space beings/visitors.
Earth is the safest spot in the cosmos at the moment. its best to accept them and not try to study/cut them open. The government (world) has cut them open for too long. There was a treaty, but the shadow government didn't keep them. and they still try to negotiate with them. But the all creator has told them not to....They came to help. All those that won't except that shall face God's wrath. and the mothers furry.

I think we should stop worrying about ice on the poles and start worrying about WWIII
