Their aim, #JDVance said in a video, is to check up on #Greenland’s security, because *unnamed other countries* could “use its territories & its waterways to threaten the United States.” And these are real concerns for the #UnitedStates, rooted in #ClimateChange: As #PolarIce melts away, superpowers are vying for newly open #ShippingRoutes in the #ArcticOcean & largely unexplored #mineral & #FossilFuel reserves.

Plenty of #Eclipse conspiracy theories around. Mine is... What if #PolarIce was "glue" holding Earth's #TectonicPlates together? Now, the climate-weakend "glue" allows #GraviticForce of #Lunar / #Solar alignment to pull the planet apart! Or... #Vampires will emerge during #Totality, taking advantage of our assembled masses – craned necks exposed as we focus all attention skyward.

On the left:
THE HORROR WRITERS OF AMERICA PRESENT, "UNDER THE FANG," EDITED BY ROBERT R. MCCAMMON. Enter a nightmare realm where vampires rule.
Cover text is inside a coffin-shaped outline, filled with red. The title and outline are raised and printed with foil. Above the text-box is a row of shiny black teeth in space, with large bloody curved fangs flanking the coffin. Below is Earth, bleeding from fang wounds on it's surface.

On the right:
Indulge your taste for fear with these blood-stealing, all-original tales about the master of terror... "DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS," EDITED BY MARTIN H. GREENBERG.
A night scene in black and white features a bust portrait of Dracula beneath a full moon. A lonely gothic mansion is visible through thin clouds in the distance over his right shoulder. A a modern city skyline can be seen just beyond the horizon to his left.

Hi Ruth,

I can't think of a more adequate person to ask the following.
This post states that "the #Arctic #OceanIce is *not* considered to be a tipping point anymore."

True?

Greenland’s mountain glaciers and floating ice shelves are melting faster than they were just a few decades ago and becoming destabilized, according to two new studies. #climate #polarice #climatechange https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/climate/greenland-glaciers-ice-melt.html
