@petergleick If you ask some, 2021 is still going.

@petergleick the 2026 decade promises to last longer than the 2025 decade.

@petergleick it’s been a hell of a long year.

When Greenland melts.

Greenland’s ice holds enough water to raise global sea level more than twenty-four feet.

@petergleick

From Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark

"...hope should shove you out the door,
because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth’s treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal. Hope just means another world might be possible, not promised, not guaranteed. Hope calls for action; action is impossible without hope."

Impact of Iceland's Ice Mass on Earth's Gravitational Field

Glacial Downwasting and Gravity Changes

Iceland's glaciers are experiencing significant downwasting, which affects the Earth's gravitational field. Research indicates that these glaciers have been retreating and thinning since 1995, losing approximately 10 cubic kilometers of ice per year. This mass loss alters the distribution of mass on Earth, which in turn impacts the gravitational field.

@petergleick I'd say we skip it, but then who knows what we'll find in 2027.
