rmartinFollowingFungal Infections Are on the Rise—Here’s WhyDid you know climate change is making some nasty fungal infections way more common? Scientists say hotter, drier weather is helping fungi like the one behind Valley Fever spread beyond the Southwest—think Kansas, Nebraska, even up to Canada! The scary part? These infections can be super hard (and expensive) to treat, and even dogs aren’t safe. No vaccine yet, but scientists are working on it. If you live in a dry area, try not to kick up dust outside—those spores are sneaky! #Health #BodyHealth #ClimateChange10Share
Tamara Jones+FollowAntarctica’s Melting: Why It’s a Big DealDid you know East Antarctica is melting way faster than we thought? Scientists just dropped a massive study showing surface meltwater is spreading, and it’s not just a little—it’s thousands of square kilometers. If all that ice melts, sea levels could rise by 190 feet (seriously!). The culprit? Our love of dirty energy and overconsumption. The fix? Clean energy, smarter shopping, and lifestyle tweaks. Wild to think our daily choices could help slow down a global crisis! #Science #Antarctica #ClimateChange30Share
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 #ClimateChange5518Share
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 #ClimateChange50Share
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 #ClimateChange513422Share
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 #GlacierMelt32Share
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
