Antarctica’s west coast missing an area of sea ice the size of France as temperatures peak 20C above average

But muh data center!

Maybe they will build them in Antartica once all the ice melts.

The wealthy are trying to get at a "hidden advanced alien tech continent" under the ice. Which sounds crazy, but look at all the idiots around you. Then think about how musk and trump talk and how dumb they are. The wealthy are idiots being grifted too.

Use wind, solar, hydro, or geothermal

"Antarctica's west coast" is a curious phrase...

It's as arbitrary as Western Hemisphere, really.

I assume they just divided the continent in half along the prime meridian? I dunno.

There's a map in the article

I remember seeing this like satellite video of the ice over the years and how small it is now its pretty scary

If we ignore it harder, it'll go away.

But is it as thick as France?

no, thick as Trump and other climate deniers

the region was important for krill – a critical part of the food web for species in the region. Krill would usually be hiding from predators under the ice in winter, where they graze on algae.

Yeah, that sounds bad

Don't care anymore because if I continue to care I'll dunk myself off a bridge

The world is dying from cancer and humanity is the cancer. Nobody cares, so neither will I

"humanity is the cancer" imagine falling for the eco fascist bullshit pushed by the billionaires actually destroying the environment.

Hell ye fuck that ice!!!!!

Trump secretly harvesting ice for all the World Cup drinks!

This is fine /s
