If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice sheets may melt, causing seas to rise and displacing millions in coastal communities, a new study finds.

Their aim, #JDVance said in a video, is to check up on #Greenland’s security, because *unnamed other countries* could “use its territories & its waterways to threaten the United States.” And these are real concerns for the #UnitedStates, rooted in #ClimateChange: As #PolarIce melts away, superpowers are vying for newly open #ShippingRoutes in the #ArcticOcean & largely unexplored #mineral & #FossilFuel reserves.

3/19/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

Plenty of #Eclipse conspiracy theories around. Mine is... What if #PolarIce was "glue" holding Earth's #TectonicPlates together? Now, the climate-weakend "glue" allows #GraviticForce of #Lunar / #Solar alignment to pull the planet apart! Or... #Vampires will emerge during #Totality, taking advantage of our assembled masses – craned necks exposed as we focus all attention skyward.

A composite image of two book photos, arranged side-by-side. On the left: THE HORROR WRITERS OF AMERICA PRESENT, "UNDER THE FANG," EDITED BY ROBERT R. MCCAMMON. Enter a nightmare realm where vampires rule. Cover text is inside a coffin-shaped outline, filled with red. The title and outline are raised and printed with foil. Above the text-box is a row of shiny black teeth in space, with large bloody curved fangs flanking the coffin. Below is Earth, bleeding from fang wounds on it's surface. On the right: Indulge your taste for fear with these blood-stealing, all-original tales about the master of terror... "DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS," EDITED BY MARTIN H. GREENBERG. A night scene in black and white features a bust portrait of Dracula beneath a full moon. A lonely gothic mansion is visible through thin clouds in the distance over his right shoulder. A a modern city skyline can be seen just beyond the horizon to his left.

Hi Ruth,

I can't think of a more adequate person to ask the following.
This post states that "the #Arctic #OceanIce is *not* considered to be a tipping point anymore."

True?

As such, the loss of Arctic ice during the summer is not a tipping point for as long as the Arctic winter remains cool enough to enable the formation of new Arctic sea ice." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system 2/2
