Did you know THERE ARE SHARKS WHO ARE OLDER THAN THE UNITED STATES?!

Those are the Greenland Sharks (Somniosus microcephalus)! They can live between 300-500 yrs, thrive in waters at freezing temperatures, & despite swimming at 0.76 mph, they are apex predators. Amazing!

Temps in Greenland are 54 F higher than normal. That’s 30+ C. That’s a WHOLE lot of melting ice.

Climate change doesn’t give a flying f%~k whether folk believe in it or not. But if you’re not anxious about it, you’re not paying attention.
