A team of researchers reports Antarctica’s enormous Thwaites Glacier is on the verge of collapse, with warm water seeping under the weakest parts of the glacier and melting it from below. Researchers deployed a robotic submarine to penetrate the vast ice sheet, which is roughly the size of Florida. They found the glacier is susceptible to rapid and irreversible ice loss that could raise global sea levels by more than half a meter. Its collapse could destabilize surrounding glaciers that could raise the Earth’s oceans by a further three meters — or nearly 10 feet.
the only advice for not being a doomer on climate is really just DO NOT THINK ABOUT IT, DO NOT LET IT SINK IN, which is not great as that is what brought us to this point in the first place
Nah, everyone should go through a period of depression and grief about climate change.
i don't disagree with that i have spent a substantial amount of my life being real fucked up about it, but it is rough to get out of bed and go to work when your brain is like that, which is where the advice come in, the good ol' reptilian brain is really good at making you not think about stuff so you can continue existing
Yeah same, I went through some shit starting in about 2013. Ended up just traveling around doing drugs for a few years. I was looking for a community to hopefully have some people to grow food and eventually die out with. I got tired of working on other peoples shit though so I went and got an easy and fun job at a resort for a while.
Next thing I know a decade has passed and I probably should have been trying to make some money or learn a skill.
10 years in our time is still nothing at all geologically. People who became hermits 50 years ago because they thought we were doomed were still right basically.
