Richard Vaughan+FollowGlaciers in Trouble: Melting Fast!Glaciers in Spain’s Pyrenees are melting at record speeds—some are now just stagnant ice! Aneto, the region’s highest peak, has shrunk from 135 to under 30 hectares since 1981. Only 14 glaciers are left, and most are in ‘advanced decline.’ This isn’t just a mountain problem: melting glaciers mean rising sea levels, more floods, and even ancient microbes entering our water. Wild, right? Are you worried about rising oceans? Vote below! #Science #ClimateChange #GlacierMelt00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowThe 70s Ice Age Scare Was Total HypeRemember hearing that scientists in the 70s predicted a new Ice Age? Turns out, that was just media hype! Meteorologist Glen Schwartz just set the record straight on TikTok: most climate scientists back then actually predicted global warming, not cooling. The Ice Age panic came from non-experts and catchy book titles, not real science. Just goes to show, always double-check your facts—especially with climate stuff! #Science #ClimateMyths #ClimateChange00Share
Michael Flores+FollowLost Antarctic Probe Spills Climate SecretsA robotic ocean float that vanished for over two years just resurfaced in Antarctica—and the data it collected is wild. It secretly tracked temps and salinity under the ice, revealing that one glacier is hanging on, but another is on the brink. Scientists say if the melting gets worse, there’s no undoing the damage. Sea levels could rise for centuries! Makes you think twice about those melting ice caps, right? #Science #Antarctica #ClimateChange10Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowThis New Climate Data Changes EverythingWhoa, scientists just dropped a massive new climate dataset going all the way back to 1781—and it’s shaking up what we thought we knew about global warming. Turns out, humans may have started heating the planet earlier than we realized, and by more than we thought. But don’t panic: experts say this doesn’t change climate targets or speed up impacts, it just gives us a clearer (and honestly, wilder) picture of how much we’ve already changed the planet. #Science #ClimateChange #ScienceNews13Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowPolar Bears Are Hacking Their Own DNA?!Polar bears in southern Greenland are literally rewriting their DNA to survive the heat—using 'jumping genes'! Scientists found these bears are rapidly mutating to handle melting sea ice and rising temps. It’s like evolution on fast-forward, but researchers warn it’s not a free pass—climate change is still a huge threat. Wild how nature fights back, right? #Science #PolarBears #ClimateChange11Share
Nicole Morgan+FollowEU Softens Gas Car Ban—Climate Setback?Europe just hit the brakes on its big plan to ban new gas cars by 2035. Instead of a full ban, 10% of new cars can still have combustion engines or be hybrids. Carmakers pushed for the change, blaming high costs and slow EV demand. Climate folks are not happy, saying this move could stall real progress. Is this a win for industry or a loss for the planet? #Cars #ClimateChange #ElectricVehicles00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowGlaciers Are Literally Vanishing FastImagine attending a funeral for a glacier. That actually happened in Switzerland, and it’s just the tip of the (melting) iceberg. New research says we’re heading for ‘peak glacier extinction’—up to 4,000 glaciers could disappear every year by the 2050s if climate change keeps heating up. That’s like losing all the glaciers in the Alps in just one year. Only a fraction will survive by 2100 unless we get serious about global warming. Wild, right? #Science #ClimateChange #GlacierExtinction10Share
megangibson+FollowShould We Hit Pause on Solar Geoengineering?Solar geoengineering—think spraying particles in the sky to reflect sunlight—sounds wild, but some scientists say we need more research, not less. Critics want a ban, but with climate change moving faster than our solutions, shutting down research could mean missing out on a vital backup plan. The real debate? Not whether to use it, but whether we should even be allowed to study it. Thoughts? Would you risk it or play it safe? #Science #ClimateChange #Geoengineering10Share
James Brady+FollowPolar Bears Are Rewriting Their DNA?!Get this: scientists just found a group of polar bears in Greenland literally changing their own DNA to deal with warmer temps. They’re using “jumping genes” to adapt, which sounds cool, but it’s actually a sign they’re desperate to survive as the ice melts. These bears might hold the secret to surviving climate change, but experts warn it’s not a get-out-of-extinction-free card. We still need to act on climate change, or these guys are in serious trouble. #Science #PolarBears #ClimateChange302Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowArctic Ocean Is Getting Wild—Here’s WhyScientists just found out the Arctic Ocean is mixing and churning way more as sea ice melts. This isn’t just a cool science fact—this wild water action could totally shake up marine life, mess with where fish end up, and even change how microplastics spread. Basically, as the planet heats up, the ocean’s getting a lot more unpredictable. Who knew melting ice could cause such a stir? #Science #ClimateChange #Arctic21Share
