It bears mentioning that the reason the #penguin chicks are so hesitant (to jump) is b/c this is typically done from FAR lower heights (often off a ground-level ice sheet), not a 50' cliff.

They are having to do this b/c so much of the lower ice has melted. 😞 #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis



Another #climate #tippingpoint to worry about: #Plankton
Rising temperatures could transform plankton and other tiny aquatic organisms into a huge source of #carbon #emissions, a little-knownβ€”and potentially catastrophicβ€”climate tipping point that could accelerate #globalwarming.
A study, published Thursday in Functional Ecology, found that rising temperatures cause a sudden shift in these microbes’ eating habits, flipping them from carbon absorbers to carbon emitters.

Breaking news :/
Based on daily data, the atmospheric CO2 concentration at Mauna Loa averaged ~424.0 ppm over May 2023. That's ~3.0 ppm higher than last year, and that's a lot.
It is also the highest monthly average on record, and most probably of the last 15 million years.

In my youth I really enjoyed a project I had on extraterrestrial biology for one of the first rovers, but since we've done so little to address #GlobalWarming since then the thrill with space exploration has waned.


#watervapor i indeed an important and overlooked? Component for #globalwarming


@Sheril

Bring on Climate Change Chuck!

If prophets for planetary change must come in the form of rodents, then that is what me must do.

200 gigatons of ice here, 200 gigatons of ice there, pretty soon you're talking about massive coastal inundation. #GlobalWarming

Quite the early eulogy for humanity. Best to tread the tight rope of #GlobalWarming reporting:

β€œwant to scare people enough to take the problem seriously but not so much as to make them feel hopeless [while] they want to reassure people that a climate-secure future is possible but only enough to avoid complacency.”
