Like hours whiled away waiting
For a time to come that has already passed
Certainty a luxury of the past
Fate intertwined with a planet ailing

“The winds will change the ocean, the ocean will melt #Antarctica—and the water is coming to visit you.” If the #ThwaitesGlacier collapses, it could bring much of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet with it and raise sea levels by over three meters. The potential collapse of Thwaites #Glacier is among the largest environmental threats to global civilization—and we’ve barely begun to understand it. What took us so long?
