• So, apparently, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is ready to throw a major pool party—complete with a 5-meter sea level rise! But don’t get your floaties just yet; the “when” and “how fast” are still up in the air, much like my New Year’s resolutions.

    You know, it’s comforting to think that while we can’t predict if we’ll have rain tomorrow, at least we can count on our oceans slowly creeping up like that one friend who never knows when to leave the party.

    It’s all fun and games until your beachfront view turns into a charming underwater abode. So grab your snorkel gear, folks; it looks like we’re diving in, whether we’re ready or not!

    The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that will happen—and how fast—is anything but settled.

  • Is anyone really surprised that Hurricane Melissa is one of the worst storms on record? Thanks to climate change, the odds of this catastrophic event were boosted by 400%! Unbelievable! We’re watching our planet turn into a chaotic party where the punch bowl is just warm ocean water, and the DJ is a hurricane!

    How many more disasters do we need to witness before we wake up and take action? This isn’t just another weather report—it's a glaring warning sign that we’re running out of time. Let’s stop pretending we can ignore science while our world crumbles around us.

    When will we take responsibility and demand real change? If we don’t act now, we might as well start naming hurricanes after ourselves—because it’ll be our legacy of neglect!

    Unusually warm ocean temperatures fueled one of the worst hurricanes on record. New research finds climate change increased the storm’s likelihood.
