Melvin Mosley+FollowBats Are Bulking Up—But Here’s the Scary ReasonDid you know bats everywhere are getting chubbier to survive tough seasons? Scientists just found out it’s not just a winter thing—tropical bats are fattening up before dry spells too! But here’s the twist: climate change is messing with their survival strategy, making it harder for bats to prep for lean times. If bats can’t do their thing, we could see more bugs, fewer pollinated plants, and pricier groceries. Want to help? Try adding a bat house or turning off outdoor lights at night! #Science #Bats #ClimateChange00Share
martinezlaura+FollowEverglades’ Wild Secret to Fighting Climate ChangeTurns out, the Florida Everglades might be tougher than we thought! New research found that while rising sea levels mess with some ecosystems’ ability to trap carbon, mangrove trees are still crushing it. The big twist? If we help these ecosystems adapt—like planting more mangroves and restoring freshwater—the Everglades could keep soaking up tons of carbon. It’s a total game-changer for fighting climate change, and not the doom-and-gloom story we expected! #Science #Everglades #ClimateChange40Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowThousands of Sea Creatures Wash Up DeadHave you seen those haunting pics from South Australia? Beaches are literally covered in dead fish and shellfish—over 9,000 animals gone, thanks to a toxic algal bloom called Karenia mikimotoi. Experts say it’s not just a local disaster; these blooms can wreck entire ecosystems for years. Rising ocean temps might be making things worse, and there aren’t enough experts to keep up. It’s a wake-up call for better marine protection and research! #Science #OceanCrisis #ClimateChange382282Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowGlaciers Are Turning Into Swiss Cheese?!Scientists just spotted something wild: glaciers in Switzerland are developing holes like Swiss cheese, and it’s not a good sign. These holes start small, then collapse and grow as the ice melts faster than it can rebuild—thanks to rising temps and less snowfall. Why care? Melting glaciers mess with everything from drinking water to farming, and even boost sea levels. The only fix? Cutting carbon pollution and switching to cleaner energy. Anyone else worried about this? #Science #ClimateChange #GlacierMelt31Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowButterflies Hit a Chilly RoadblockButterflies are adapting fast to climate change, but even their super-evolution skills have limits! Scientists in Sweden found that wall brown butterflies can speed up their growth and nail winter timing as they move north, but freezing winters still stop them from going further. Turns out, evolution can’t outsmart every climate challenge. Why does it matter? Knowing these limits helps predict which pollinators (and pests!) might move as the planet warms. Want to help butterflies? Plant native wildflowers and cut light pollution! #Science #ClimateChange #Butterflies70Share
BubblyBobcat+FollowKashmir’s Cherry Crisis Is Breaking HeartsKashmir’s famous cherry farms are getting wrecked by wild weather—think hailstorms and nonstop rain. Some farmers are seeing their harvests drop by 75%, and what’s left is stained and sour. It’s not just about losing fruit; it’s about losing family traditions and jobs. With climate change making weather even crazier, this could mean pricier fruit and less food for everyone. Farmers are trying everything—nets, new crops, even moving—but it’s an uphill battle. Wild, right? #Weather #ClimateChange #FoodCrisis11Share
James Brady+FollowClimate Change Could Trigger More EruptionsDid you know melting glaciers could actually make volcanoes erupt more often—and more explosively? Scientists just found that as glaciers retreat (thanks, climate change), the pressure comes off underground magma, making eruptions way more likely. This isn’t just an Iceland thing anymore—places like Antarctica, North America, and New Zealand could be next. Basically, the planet’s ice melt is setting the stage for some wild volcanic action. Who knew climate change could literally blow up in our faces? #Science #ClimateChange #Volcanoes49109Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowPeriods & Climate Change: The Hidden CrisisDid you know extreme weather is making periods way harder for billions of women and girls? Floods, droughts, and heatwaves are wrecking access to clean toilets, water, and safe period products—stuff we totally take for granted. In places like Bangladesh, girls are forced to use salty water for washing pads, leading to infections and missed school. Menstrual health barely gets a mention in climate plans, but it’s a huge deal for education, safety, and basic rights. Time to talk about it! #Health #BodyHealth #ClimateChange20Share
BubblyBobcat+FollowI-40 Shut Down Again—Here’s WhyI-40 between Tennessee and North Carolina just can’t catch a break! After last year’s hurricane, this stretch got slammed by flash floods and mudslides, forcing a major closure. Cleanup is taking weeks, and full repairs could take years. Locals are dealing with detours and more travel headaches. Experts say this kind of wild weather is getting more common thanks to climate change. Some cities are fighting back with green stormwater fixes, but it’s a long road ahead (literally). #Weather #ExtremeWeather #ClimateChange00Share
Tamara Jones+FollowMauna Loa’s Climate Data at RiskImagine losing the OG climate change tracker! The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii has been recording CO₂ levels for over 65 years, giving us the iconic Keeling curve that proves humans are heating up the planet. Now, the US is planning to pull the plug on this crucial monitoring. Without it, tracking climate change gets way harder. If Mauna Loa shuts down, places like Australia’s Cape Grim will have to step up big time. Wild, right? #Science #ClimateChange #MaunaLoa00Share
