New research shows past ice loss triggered earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis, offering a stark warning that future melting could unleash sudden, catastrophic geological changes.

Roughly 96% of mammalian biomass on Earth is humans and our domesticated animals.

When the question is which wild animals we could domesticate next;
it’s a reflection on how little value we place on “wild.”

Climate scientists are also obsessed with Greenland, not because of the Mercator projection, but because the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is going to raise sea levels significantly, change ocean circulation, and be generally very bad for humanity.
