These people are called CLIMATE REFUGEES.
In Australia thousands of people living in the state of Queensland have been ordered to abandon their homes because of rising floodwaters.

“As sophisticated as today’s climate models are, one critical component continues to hamper their effectiveness: clouds. Those white puffs of water vapor hovering overhead are computationally complex, requiring resources that even today’s most powerful supercomputers are hard-pressed to see through. A massive attempt to resolve the climatic effects of clouds—Project Athena—involved a six-month experimentation period that consumed 70 million CPU-hours and generated more than 900 terabytes of data.”
HOLY MOLY THAT’S A BIG COMPUTER!

Anti-climate propaganda!
Such a shame - and they used such fun typography.

Sweet Jesus - look at that crack! It’s 30 km long!
This is a photo published today on DiscoveryNews. It’s from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). WAIS is the most vulerable portional of Antarctic Ice to melt and decay, and has an ice volume equivalent to 5m of sea level rise. Scientists, such a Rob DeConto and Davis Pollard, study the growth and decay of WAIS using global climate model simulations.
Ok folks - this is what environmental change looks like in the polar regions of our planet. It’s analogous to the hugh loss of seasonal sea ice in the Arctic. Wouldn’t you like to know how fast the WAIS is predicted to decay? Wouldn’t your life be impacted by a 5m sea level rise? Well then, you’ve got to support climate science funding.
Plant for the Planet
A wonderfully executed ad campaign by Legas Delaney for Plant for the Planet, using cut leaves symbolizing their ability to absorb CO2. Beautiful work. (via inspire me nowand ads of the world)

Recent Eurodoc Survey reveals nothing : family life and funding sucks for PhD’s in Europe. the U.S. isn’t any better. seriously, what’s new?
