There are still people who make jokes about global warming

This is interesting since the actual temperature record shows the arctic having one of the coldest summers of the last century.

Sooner or later we could be living in Antarctica

Thanks to our big corporate companies who wants to be carbon neutral but they actually nutralise the earth

A much easier, and understandable way to describe what is happening is simple. Pour a scotch with ice...you will notice the ice melts faster as it gets smaller...not rocket science. The real question is what concrete efforts are being done to ensure food security? Or will food be for the rich?

[janedough]

Stop eating, stop breathing, stop driving, etc. so the ice won’t melt.

If you look at satellite data of Greenland over the last 2 decades, you can see glaciers receding in areas. While other areas show glaciers growing, this year being one of the coldest temperatures recorded.

So how much the sea level has risen? 1mm? 10mm? 100mm? It has not risen! Where does all this water go then?

ARCTIC SEA ICE AT THE END OF 2021
The Arctic sea ice extent actually grew faster than in the latest years. By the end of December, its extent is 12.95 million square kilometers (5.00 million square miles) which is just within the interdecile range according to the National Snow & Ice Data Center of Boulder, Colorado (US).

My problem now is how to spend my last days of my vacation productively even though I was blocked since the time I was born onto this earth.😁

Warming is normal when magnetic poles are shifting

[melvinreed]

Quit playing with your damn nuclear weapon your space age is warming up this damn planet

[dragonclaw]

It’s close to warming point well this is going to be hard to fix..

The median home sale price on Martha's Vineyard jumped from $875, 000 in 2019, the previous Island record, to $1, 035, 000 in 2020 — an 18 percent increase. Sep 2, 2020.
Martha's Vinyard's top properties are right on the ocean 2 meters above sea level so something doesn't add up. Would you all agree with that at least?

[adwood]

Possibly there will be rain in arid My little bit of Australian desert is very green right now where it has been drought for 8 years at a stretch.

What happens to the rest part of the world if it heats up?

[patholland]

Has anyone suggested they net up the ice sheets and take it to somewhere that needs water
