Tamara Jones+FollowAntarctica’s Hidden Ice Melt ProblemWhoa, scientists just found out that water trapped under Antarctica’s ice could make sea levels rise way faster than we thought—like, up to 7 feet by 2300! Turns out, this subglacial water acts like a slip-n-slide for the ice, sending more of it into the ocean. If we don’t factor this in, our current sea level predictions are way off. Coastal cities, take note: this could mean trillions in damages if we don’t get serious about climate action. #ClimateChange #Antarctica #SeaLevelRise #ScienceNews #GlobalWarming #Science10Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowGila Monsters vs. Climate Change?!Did you know Gila monsters might vanish from the Mojave Desert by 2082 if temps keep rising? These iconic, slow-moving lizards can’t just pack up and move to cooler spots—they’re basically homebodies! Scientists say even protected habitats might not be enough if the climate gets too wild. Gila monsters are not just cool—they help control pests and even inspired diabetes meds. Wild, right? If you care about desert vibes and biodiversity, this is one to watch! #ClimateChange #WildlifeConservation #GilaMonster #DesertLife #Biodiversity #Science00Share
Tamara Jones+FollowGray Whales Are Wasting Away—Here’s WhyGray whales are showing up shockingly skinny on their migration north, and researchers are freaking out. Not only are their ribs visible, but baby whales are almost nowhere to be found—just three calves spotted this year! Scientists say melting Arctic ice is wrecking their food supply, and it’s a major red flag for ocean health. If whales are struggling, the whole ecosystem is in trouble. Want to help? Cut down on single-use plastics, support clean energy, and get involved with local marine groups! #GrayWhales #OceanCrisis #ClimateChange #MarineLife #EcoAction #Science31Share
rmartinFollowingMosquito Virus Spreading Fast—What’s Up?Just found out Oropouche virus is way more common in Latin America than anyone thought—and it’s linked to stillbirths. Researchers checked thousands of blood samples and found 6.3% had been exposed! Climate change and El Niño are making it easier for mosquitoes to spread it around. There’s no treatment, so prevention is key: think bug spray, nets, and long sleeves. Wild how our warming planet is helping these diseases get around. Anyone else double-checking their window screens right now? #OropoucheVirus #ClimateChange #MosquitoBites #PublicHealth #StaySafe #Health432Share
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
Kristin Shaw+FollowSupercomputer Predicts Earth’s Expiry Date?!Ever wondered how long Earth will stay comfy for life? NASA and Japanese scientists ran the numbers on a supercomputer and, spoiler alert: we’ve got about a billion years before the Sun cooks us for good. But the real kicker? Rising temps and dropping oxygen could make things tough way sooner. Think of it as Earth’s long, slow “last call.” Some folks are betting on space travel or building sci-fi habitats to keep the party going. Time to invest in sunscreen... or maybe a Mars ticket? #FutureTalk #ScienceChatter #ClimateChange #SpaceLife #CoffeeBreakFacts #Business279374Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowWhy Florida Floods Aren’t Sinking Home PricesHere’s a wild one for your next coffee break: Even after major floods, Florida home prices keep climbing. People are still paying top dollar for houses that have been underwater—literally! The big twist? Many buyers just aren’t fazed by flood risks, maybe because they don’t plan to stick around for decades. But with insurance rates soaring and storms getting nastier, some experts say this denial bubble could pop—just not overnight. If you’re house-hunting in Florida, maybe check the flood maps before falling in love with that dream home! #RealEstate #FloridaLiving #ClimateChange #HomeBuying #MoneyTalks10Share
Melanie James+FollowReal-Life 'Last of Us' Fungus?!Okay, this is wild—scientists say a deadly fungus (think 'The Last of Us' vibes) could spread worldwide thanks to climate change. The fungus, Aspergillus, thrives in warmer temps and can cause serious lung infections that are tough to treat. By 2100, it could cover way more ground and put hundreds of thousands at risk. Basically, global warming might make fungal infections a much bigger deal than we ever thought. Reality check: nature is getting seriously creepy! #ClimateChange #FungusAlert #TheLastOfUs #HealthNews #Science #Health347Share
Jerry Clark+FollowAustralia’s “Climate Bomb” Gas Project Sparks OutrageSo, Australia just okayed a massive offshore gas project, even though it’s set to pump out nearly 300 million tons of CO2. Environmentalists are fuming, calling it a "climate bomb" that’ll make your power bill’s future look pretty bleak. The drama? While politicians promise cheaper, greener energy, this move could mean more wild weather and higher costs down the line. If you care about your grocery bill or insurance rates, this is one to watch! #ClimateChange #Australia #EnergyNews #MoneyTalks #EcoLifehacks #Business100Share
Jessica Hodge+Follow$23M Arctic Mission: What’s Under the Ice?Scientists are about to live on a $23 million floating station that’ll drift through the Arctic for over 20 years—literally frozen in place for 90% of the time! The goal? To finally figure out what’s happening under the ice as the Arctic heats up nearly 4x faster than the rest of the planet. The team’s braving -60°F temps, polar nights, and total isolation just to get us answers. Wild, right? #ArcticMission #ClimateChange #ScienceNews #HiddenWorlds #PolarExploration #Science10Share
