I've been staring at these numbers for months now. 90 millimeters over three decades. Doesn't sound like much until you realize it's accelerating. We used satellite laser ranging—sounds fancy, but it's just measuring distance with light. What we found wasn't surprising. The ocean is rising faster than before. Greenland's melting. The ice sheets are collapsing. My advisor called it a breakthrough. I called my mom and couldn't explain why I was crying. 🌊 Every data point represents millions of people who will lose their homes. Every graph line slopes toward displacement, toward loss. We publish in PNAS. The world keeps warming. Someone has to document the end. Apparently, that someone is me. The satellites don't lie. I wish they did. #Science #ClimateAnxiety #DataTruth
