❄️ Glaciers hold ~70% of Earth’s freshwater. And they’re disappearing fast.
🌊Arctic sea ice ↓ ~40% since 1979.
🧊Ice sheets melting faster each year.
This is a water crisis in slow motion.
On the occasion of the World Day for Glaciers find out more about Hans Glacier.

🔥🌲 What happens when #wildfires meet #permafrost?
New research shows a complex climate story:
➡️ Some fires may cool the #climate when coupled with snowpack. ❄️
➡️ But in places like Alaska, fires can thaw permafrost & release stored #carbon, driving warming 🌍
