Nelson didn't skirt around the problem and its source, specifying that"the science of the last 20 years has settled the question of human behavior that is driving this climate change.""It's important to underscore that this report supports previous studies and confirms what we've known all along," Nelson said."Sea levels are continuing to rise at a very alarming rate, and it's endangering communities around the world.
help me our fellow nerds: Dams hold ____% of water as Antarcticas 30 million cubic kilometers of ICE?... it got real complicated...🤣 i gave up when i realized the super dense ice at the bottom of the ice cap would release more water than ice towards the top
Impossible. Where will the water come from to raise the entire Pacific Ocean (about half the globe) by a foot ?
It will be right this time they promised
And your doing what about it? 🤔
Maybe I can get a deal on some beachfront property!!
