Glacial melts in the Canadian Arctic reveal land that hasn't been seen in more than 40,000 years

Stuff like that makes me wonder if we're looking at global warming the wrong way.

Like from the inside out instead of outside in?
Don't understand this one? You mean like it's a good thing.

I've been thuggin through my rainy days...
It might be a double-edged sword imo. More land means more crops which means more food thus preventing global starvation in the near future. On the downside, melting icecaps leads to rising sea levels which means coastal cities like New York and D.C. go underwater within 50 to 100. So you have prolonging of the human race versus losing some of the most important meccas on the planet. Fair trade.

I just used it since it was from twitter it is being reported by plenty of reliable sources."Jobs in Florida"?
"ScienceAlert"
Does anyone check sources before posting?
These Arctic glaciers are smaller than ever before in human history

There is no benefit if that's what you mean
Yes... the reverse effect is happening
Artic getting warmer and everywhere else getting colder
In the grand scheme of things global warming even caused by humans is in a way, "natural".
The planets always shifting on every level.
Though I do support climate change initiatives.

I don't know what you mean but I agree, we are.
We're talking about saving the planet, but the planet has survived being smashed by an asteroid twice. Climate change is light work, it will be fine.
We should be concerned about ourselves. In about 30 years shyt is locked in for the rest of humanity's time on earth. No going back to fireless cali summers, droughts will get worse, and resource wars will wipe out millions, if not billions.

Why do people deny climate change so much?
Admittedly I'm semi-ignorant on the subject, but at the same time I'm not entirely convinced we're all on a doomed trajectory as the scientists have been saying. Not to come off like the so called anti-intellectuals, but the "experts" aren't always right either. Maybe I'm watching too many sci-fi movies, but it is funny how this land becomes visible for the first time in 40,000 years during an era that has been deemed a crisis. The earth is obviously going through a change, adaptation. Climate Change types are looking at this glass as half empty, but I'm wondering if we should be looking at it as half full. It almost comes off borderline arrogant to think that mankind controls the earth's destiny, when the reality is it's out of our control and we need to be the ones adapting accordingly.
