Daniel Barajas+FollowSeabirds Showing Up Where They Shouldn’t?!Wildlife hospitals in England are seeing a bizarre spike in seabirds miles from the coast—like a red-throated diver found 70 miles inland! Experts say wild weather is blowing these aquatic birds way off course, leaving them exhausted and stranded. It’s a wild reminder of how climate change is shaking up animal habitats. Rescues are working overtime, but it’s a wake-up call for us to protect our coasts and help wildlife adapt. Would you have guessed seabirds could end up in your backyard? #Pets #ClimateChange #WildlifeRescue80Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowGreenland’s Meltwater Messing With Our Weather?Scientists just found out that all that Arctic meltwater pooling around Greenland is throwing a wrench in how we predict weather. Turns out, it’s not just about melting ice—this freshwater is messing with ocean currents that help regulate weather across the Northern Hemisphere. If these currents weaken, we could see wilder storms, higher tides, and food supply chaos. Researchers are scrambling to improve models, but this is a wake-up call for how climate change is shaking things up! #Science #ClimateChange #Greenland20Share
Michelle York+FollowAntarctica’s Glacier Mystery Has Scientists SplitPlot twist in Antarctica: a glacier just retreated 16 miles in a year, and even the experts can’t agree on why. Some say the ice was grounded, others think it was floating—either way, it’s melting way faster than anyone predicted. The big worry? If this keeps happening, sea levels could rise even quicker, putting coastal communities at risk. Wild how climate change keeps serving up new surprises, right? #Science #Antarctica #ClimateChange30Share
Michelle York+FollowAntarctica Just Gained a Ton of Ice?!Plot twist: Antarctica’s ice sheet actually grew from 2021 to 2023—by about 119 billion tons a year! Scientists are totally baffled since we’ve been hearing about melting for decades. Turns out, a wild weather pattern dumped a massive amount of snow, temporarily reversing the trend and even slowing sea level rise. But don’t get too comfy—experts say it’s just a weird blip, not a climate crisis fix. Nature’s full of surprises! #Science #Antarctica #ClimateChange51Share
Michelle York+FollowWhales Are Changing Their Dinner PlansTurns out, whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence are sharing food—not because there’s plenty, but because there’s less to go around. As the ocean warms and their favorite snacks get harder to find, fin, humpback, and minke whales are getting creative: they’re splitting up what’s left and picking different fish, so nobody gets totally left out. Basically, it’s a marine potluck, but with way more teamwork than you’d expect! #Science #whales #climatechange70Share
Jennifer Wilson+FollowClimate Change Is Messing With Disease SpreadWild fact: Scientists just found that animal-to-human diseases are getting way more unpredictable as the planet heats up. Some bugs like mosquitoes are thriving in new places, but not all diseases react the same to heat, rain, or humidity—sometimes it even depends on where you live! That means outbreaks are harder to predict and control. Bottom line: climate change is making disease risks a total wild card. Anyone else suddenly eyeing their bug spray stash? #Health #BodyHealth #ClimateChange00Share
Sandra Escobar+FollowSki Resorts Hit Hard by Warm WinterWinter in the Southwest is looking way different this year—ski resorts are hurting big time because there’s barely any snow. Shops are empty, seasons are ending early, and some spots can’t even open. It’s not just a bummer for skiers; farmers and wildlife are feeling it too. Climate change is speeding up the ‘season creep’ and making winters drier. Some resorts are trying snow machines, but it’s not enough. Think we’ll ever switch to all clean energy? #News #ClimateChange #SkiResorts00Share
