My Data Shows We're Doomed

I've been staring at the same glacier projection for three hours. 98% gone by 2100. Swiss cheese, we called it in the lab meeting. Everyone laughed. I don't laugh anymore. Five years of fieldwork. Conferences where I show slides of disappearing ice to rooms of people checking phones. Grant applications where I have to sound "optimistic about solutions" when my own models scream otherwise. Yesterday my advisor asked if I'm "too emotionally invested" in the data. As if caring about planetary collapse is unprofessional. I became a glaciologist because ice felt permanent. Honest. Now I study death in slow motion and present it like it's just another research finding. The worst part? I'll keep going. Keep measuring. Keep warning. Keep watching people nod and do nothing. Maybe that makes me the crazy one. #ClimateAnxiety #ScienceIgnored #DataDepression #Science
