For shame, his name doesn't even show in the "popular culture" section!

That book drew on a different ephemeral island.
Wasn't this phenomenon documented in a Terry Pratchett book?
Floating bogs, this one was pushed around by boats https://youtu.be/X2AG6LAOBYo
Countering turbulence, the system uses onboard servo control to trim its attitude
Such a sassy blimp
male scientists claim they have something "huge" when in reality its really pretty small.
I didn’t read the article or the paper. I just wanted to know how much 600 Olympic pools was.
And apparently the amount of ice is much less than 600 pools. 🤷♂️
The article states 1.5 million liters.. and the paper says 1.55 x 10^6 m³
They could've at least said which year of the Olympics they're referring to.
That's not that much...?
600 olympic swimming pools store 1,500,000,000 liters.
In the US due to ineffecient water use the average person consumes 300 liters of tap water per day (compared to e.g. the Netherlands with 130 L per person/day).
That's enough water for 5,000,000 person days.
Under the February 2026 World Aquatics rules, the minimum dimensions for an Olympic Games or World Championships pool are 50 m × 25 m × 2.5 m, a rectangular volume of 3.125 million litres.
So 600 Olympic swimming pools would be approximately 1,875 million (1.875B) litres or 495.3 million gallons.
That...is going to be very very bad for anyone downhill pretty soon.
Reeeee!
How much is that in elephants?
enough frozen water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools
bruh
I feel like saying climate change anymore makes people gloss over. Specifics do matter. A glacier melting, extreme temperatures, droughts speak more to people than the word climate change. Especially cause people who haven't accepted a climate disaster is unfolding just won't at this rate.
That's a weird way of saying climate change. Looks inside:
This collapse could be a result of global heating. “It’s not that much of a stretch to think, yes, we’re seeing one terrible ramification of human-caused climate change,” Shugar says.
Lol, took the words out of my mouth.
"Why when we measure things, do they give us measurements"
Oh yes, you are definitely good for linking both, although we both know nobody (hyperbole) is thinking in relative terms when they read, "reversed direction".
While the paper is far more clear in interpretation, the article is still sensationalist shit.
Note that I do not ask for less scientific coverage, but a bare minimum in factual representation with what most might understand...
"reverse" vs "slowed down" is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL in communication. Why say something LESS CLEARLY unless the point is to mislead?!
It does, well it isn't the classical mathematics, but higher up math like fractals which is math but on another scale.
Coastal length, water movement, trees branching, cloud movements... Those are all described by fractals
It's almost like math describes natural phenomena
This is the part of the movie where the core shuts off, the atmosphere disappears and everyone floats out into space.
