🌡️ #ShowYourStripes 🌡️

The science is clear. The world is warming at an alarming rate and Arctic and Antarctic are warming twice as fast, and sometimes faster, than the rest of the planet. These stripes show the stark reality of climate change.

The message? We’re out of time for delay.

🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌿💧

The cryosphere, Earth's frozen water, stores 68.7% of our freshwater. As temperatures rise, it melts, and sea levels go up 🌊

Since 1900, sea level has risen over 20 cm and the pace is increasing.

Protecting ice means protecting our future 💙🌱
