Researchers are concerned about a huge chunk of ice larger than Mexico failing to refreeze as temperatures drop in Antarctica.

        The discovery channel was showing ice shelves sloughing off into the ocean in 2011. They made it sound like it’d all melt soon.

              I wonder if we c could get a doomey redub with an AI mimicking sir Attenborough?

              I’m pretty confident he shares the viewpoint but is too much of a gentleman/professional to give up like this…

              And from images of ice cascading into the sea, you genuinely drew the conclusion that Antarctica would be completely ice-free in less than 12 years?

              So, nobody actually told you that, you just decided it was true after seeing video of ice falling into the sea. But that decision was firm enough in your mind to cause you to believe that, since there is still some ice in 2023, the doom-sayers of the Discovery channel were wrong and we had nothing to worry about?

              Fascinating. I wish I had the ability to make those kinds of amazing leaps of reasoning on subjects I know absolutely nothing about and then believe them hard enough to post snarky shit in public.
