#34Huh > they have been observed in Alaska, Chile, Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Uganda and Venezuela Well, today I learned, Venezuela has glaciers. Then I googled that, and… https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/08/... And so today I learned, Venezuela used to have glaciers.
Interestingly, the US has ADDED a glacier in the last 30 years, that of Mount St Helens, which was able to form after the explosion in 1980. It is the youngest glacier on earth
It had 13 glaciers pre-eruption, so perhaps "added" is doing a lot of heavy lifting :)

We need to go nuclear with the newer type of plants. Built at scale, they are cost effective. Otherwise we are cooked, perhaps quite literally.
Venus scenario? I wonder if that could happen. Time to explore that rabbit hole

#37Always love seeing a link to wikipedia.org on the front page. Pretty much guaranteed to make me go "oh, neat " :)
When I used Kagi, my favourite feature was pinning Wikipedia to the top of all results.

Yes

#39I have found a video (under a minute long) of a backpacking group walking through a herd of glacier mice in Alaska: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4fHfDrfoJw. I'd love to see a timelapse of glacier mice moving.

I’m actually surprised there isn’t Timelapse of it already. Seems like a simple enough setup to gather basically all of the information needed for finalizing how they move.
