Melvin Mosley+FollowGlacier Meltdown: The Plot Twist No One Saw ComingScientists just found out that when glaciers melt, the newly exposed land actually helps suck up carbon dioxide at first—sounds good, right? But plot twist: over time, that same land starts pumping out methane, which is even worse for the planet. Basically, melting glaciers are giving us a temporary climate break before making things even hotter. The real question now? How all these gases—CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide—team up to mess with our climate long-term. Wild, right? #Science #ClimateChange #Glaciers201115Share
Michelle York+FollowGlacier Meltdown = Mass Migration?!Did you know losing just one Antarctic glacier could displace more people than WWII? A geophysicist says if the Thwaites "Doomsday Glacier" goes, we could see 10-20x the population shifts of that era. Even in the best-case scenario, millions could be forced to move for every inch the sea rises. Wild, right? Most at risk: coastal cities and countries that barely contributed to the problem. Scientists are racing to find solutions, but we all need to step up and help slow the melt! #climatechange #sealevelrise #glaciers #Science12Share
