The thing about ice sheets is they react extremely slowly to climate changes. This means that if we seriously tackle the #ClimateCrisis#ClimateAction 2/2
Sorry, I am struggling to reconcile the two posts above. If we have already committed ourselves to the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet 😱, how can we save future generations from the consequent multi-metre sea level rise? Are you referring to additional ice sheet collapses beyond this?
That requires governments to acknowledge the problem, and stop prioritising the profits of fossil fuel corporations. Until then the planet and it’s peoples are not their priority.
