🌍 Global warming of 1.5°C has major implications:
ice-free Arctic summers every 100 years, significant permafrost thaw, and 70-90% decline in coral reefs.
Species adapt and move, with uncertain impacts on biodiversity.
Time to act! 🐧🐠🌲 #ClimateChange

🏔️ Ribbon Lake 🏔️
A glacier flows over different bands of harder/softer rock.
Abrasion at base of glacier acts more quickly on the softer rock.
After the glacier retreats, a river often flows instead, filling the leftover trough to form a ribbon lake.

"I am...on a train from Madrid to Barcelona. The journey takes 2½ hours and covers more than 300 miles, approaching the distance between London and Edinburgh. I paid €19"
80% of trips between those cities are now rail. It was Europe's busiest air route

Bees generally can’t fly at night, they use the sun as a compass. Even if the sun is behind clouds, bees can infer it’s position using patterns of polarised light
So they may sleep in flowers, many blossoms close up at night, creating a warm space
