Michael Flores+FollowGlaciers Are Melting Way Faster Than We ThoughtScientists just found out that glaciers in Europe are melting at a record pace—like, entire ice caves are vanishing in months. The Morteratsch Glacier in Switzerland has lost over 9,400 feet since 1881, and now it’s literally too warm for the glacier to exist. Why care? Melting glaciers mean rising sea levels, less fresh water, and more landslides. The only way to stop this is to tackle climate change, and that means everyone—yes, even us—needs to step up. #Science #ClimateChange #GlacierMelting1811Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowGlacier Meltdown: Hidden Waves DiscoveredScientists just uncovered a wild secret under Greenland’s glaciers—when giant ice chunks break off, they create massive underwater waves that speed up melting way more than we thought. This new fiber-optic tech let them safely spy on the action, revealing a hidden “calving multiplier effect.” Basically, the glacier’s melting is getting turbocharged, and that’s a big deal for sea levels. Kinda scary, but at least now we can track it better! #Science #ClimateChange #GlacierMelting00Share
