I think most people recognize that climate change is real and a problem, but when people can't give you straight forward answers and want to take so much money without any acountability, it is hard to commit

@Misomania To be honest, Nye has a pretty big disconnect on a lot of things

The interior of the country is raising due to the weight of the iceburgs being gone

but the coasts are sinking as a result.

People freak out about glacier melting like we're all gonna die.. the great lakes were formed from massive ancient glaciers if i'm not mistaken

... I'm no geologist but I don't think there are a lot of permanent glaciers in the midwest

I live in Miami and my question is it sea level rise or the fact that we use to be a 4 feet deep swamp called the everglades.

I specialize in wetlands

there was a giant city destroying metoer that skimmed our atmosphere not to long ago, and they had hours of notice as flew by us that it existed

mmm

wetlands

=

pussy

👍

rich people trying to convince you the seas gonna rise an wipe out huge swaths of land are also buying beach front property

i too

am familiar with wetlands

(obvs im joking)

washington dc was an actual literal swamp

@H3llbender its from the last ice age apparently it takes a long time for tetonic plates to sink and float in the mantel.

@woodchuck00 Most of the problems with sea level rise actually do have to do with coastal wetlands!

You don't want that land! It will be under water soon! Let me take it off your hands for you!

not just a political, a everglades style swamp

@Misomania Is that the big ass meteor i told this discord i saw like a week ago?

You see, a lot of coastal wetlands are under threat from mere inches of sealevel rise because a lot of coastal wetlands are in the intertidal zone

rip gators

not sure, this one had nasa look up and basically ask what the hell they were seeing @shanepottermi and it was large enough to wreck a large city

I think there was a meteor a couple days ago

if it was on a different trajectory it would have cratered something for sure

biggest one i ever saw

If low tide ends up so that areas that were exposed at low tide are no longer exposed, those areas go away

flew half way between the earth and moon, which is nothing spacewise

The massive one was 1 mile wide

Which in turn has *implications* for flooding in the area whenever a storm rides in

oh what i saw actually entered the atmosphere

it was so big i could see the thing on fire inside the shooting star

it was burning for like 2 seconds

I think this was a few months back. Would've wiped out even a city like new york and they had zero clue it was there until they looked up and saw it

that stuff happens all the time.. near misses

@Misomania There is probably a lot more that they don't see

we're sitting in between 2 giant meteor belts
