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.
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.
