Arctic ice is decreasing at a rate of 13.4 percent per decade since 1980, while Antarctic land ice is declining by about 100 gigatons per year, and Greenland’s land ice is declining by around 280 gigatons per year (NASA, NSIDC). Water levels have been rising because as the oceans have been getting warmer, they have been expanding. Also, the water from the melting ice has gone into the oceans, causing them to rise 3.5mm since the 1990s. As the oceans try to absorb more carbon dioxide to keep up…

It feels like brushing off wet sand from a warm piece of leather. Noticing that I am the last one to wake up, quickly I dress in heavy clothing from my suitcase.
