Patrick Simmons+FollowBowhead Whales Facing a Massive Habitat CrisisBowhead whales have survived Arctic chills for thousands of years, but now scientists say they could lose up to 75% of their habitat by 2100! Melting sea ice is forcing these ancient giants out of their comfort zone, and some populations might lose their homes entirely by 2060. It’s not just about the whales—this could mess up the whole Arctic ecosystem and even impact Indigenous communities. Conservation efforts are more urgent than ever. Wild how fast things are changing, right? #ClimateChange #Arctic #BowheadWhales #Science160Share
megangibson+FollowAncient Germs Are Thawing Out?!Wild update: Melting Arctic ice isn’t just about polar bears—it could unleash ancient diseases and superbugs that have been frozen for centuries. Scientists say as permafrost thaws, old pathogens and pollutants could spread to humans and animals, raising the risk of new pandemics. Plus, all that melting ice is releasing more greenhouse gases, making climate change even worse. The Arctic’s secrets might not stay up north for long! #ClimateChange #Arctic #Permafrost #ScienceNews #GlobalHealth #Science175Share
James Brady+FollowLightning Strikes Near the North Pole?!Did you know a massive thunderstorm hit just 27 miles from the North Pole? Scientists say it’s a sign the Arctic is warming way faster than the rest of the planet. These rare storms could become more common as temps rise, which is wild (and kinda scary). Melting ice means more extreme weather everywhere—think heat waves, rising seas, and even food shortages. Climate change is getting real up north, and it’s impacting all of us! #ClimateChange #Arctic #ExtremeWeather #ScienceNews #GlobalWarming #Science111Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowArctic Ice Hits Lowest Ever—What It Means🌍 The Arctic sea ice has reached its lowest peak on record, sparking concerns about our planet's future. The ice now lasts only 2-3 months instead of 4 months. This melting accelerates global warming as less ice reflects sunlight. 🌞 It's not just an Arctic issue—this impacts global weather and sea levels. What can we do? Reducing carbon emissions is key. Support local environmental policies and embrace eco-friendly habits at home. 🌿 Let's protect our planet, one step at a time.
