Melting Ice Caps: Earth's Ticking Time Bomb

Published 2023-08-23
In the midst of our modern challenges, a new threat emerges—one that doesn't rely on wars or weapons, but on the natural forces of our planet. The #icecaps, guardians of stability, are #melting due to our actions—mining, oil, and gas exploration in the Arctic and #Antarctica. This isn't a sudden explosion; it's a slow-burning time bomb. As these frozen giants shrink, so does our time to act. Can we defuse this environmental crisis, or are we on the brink of disaster? The countdown is on, and our choices today will determine our tomorrow.

    Its pretty sad that you have to explain a glacier
  • This video is too for long for as shallow of a dive as it is into the topic. Quantum leaps in technology need to be made for renewables to replace fossil fuels. EVs are most likely not in our future as there simply aren't enough minerals to create all the batteries. I think that's why they're called rare earth minerals. Many of the solutions mentioned are smart common sense things ppl should do, but their impact on global temps and the ice caps are absolutely negligible.
  • From what I remember we have until 2030 to fix things, otherwise, the only ice berg we’ll have is from that ice age movie
