FEATURE | How to Profit from a Global Disaster

"The earth is dying. Droughts have devastated food and water security; typhoons are destroying communities; sea-level rise and global warming are bringing wildlife close to extinction—yet no one seems to be paying attention. "

Only one contender here- what a NAME! This small warbler is endemic to just two small islands in Kiribati, in the Pacific. This species is threatened by sea-level rises, introduced rats and coconut plantations.

The low lying coastal geography of the region makes the Mekong River Delta vulnerable to climate change & sea-level rise, and to related issues such as coastal erosion & saltwater intrusion

It can be monitored with our

1/ With climate change, the storyline has changed for Mumbai and the coastline of India. This thread discusses how storms surge from intense cyclones, heavy rains, and sea-level rise are all overlapping—to create prolonged large-scale floods.

The dataset from the XES 02 'Jurassic Tank' experiment (that was run a while ago) is fantastic for visualizing how stratigraphy is created during cyclic sea-level change

It's time to get worried about South Greenland. Especially about the southeastern part & its glaciers.
These glaciers are draining an area of more than 1 million Gigatons of ice resting on land above sea level. Sea-level equivalent: 3 m
Glaciers like Eqalorutsit are disappearing.

ICYMI: 's fascinating if unsettling piece on the melting Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, and what it means for global sea-level rise.

Beautiful illustrations and by me

Although there is no official solid boundary for where space begins, the Kármán line sits at 62 miles above sea-level and is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties or for aerospace records keeping.🤓🤩😊👇

Was drawing a sketch of an Asian ground crew from a near future Sci-Fi. She lives in a coastline in the world after sea-level rise.

Global glacier mass changes from 1961 to 2016: improved observations show that glaciers contributed 27 ± 22 millimetres to global mean sea-level rise, mass loss (47 Gt/yr) 18% larger than estimated in IPCC AR5.
