Very cool! We're destroying our planet and flooding our coastal cities while doing it! We're a stupid ape like creature that doesn't have the sense that we need to just stop.

NASA Shows What 30 Years of Rising Seas Feels Like in Chilling New Animation
NASA has released a chilling animation showing just how far sea levels have risen in the three short decades its satellites have been monitoring them.

NASA has released a chilling animation showing just how far sea levels have risen in the three short decades its satellites have been monitoring them.
The data visualization, released last week, is the work of Andrew J. Christensen, a data visualizer for the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio. By animating observed changes in global sea level captured by satellites whizzing overhead between 1993 and 2022, the imagery transforms a complex mix of numbers into something far more relatable.
In those 30 years, sea levels have risen by over 9 centimeters (about 3.5 inches). That might not sound like much, only a hand's length, but when those changes are visualized as water lapping at a ship-like window, it starts to feel very real.
Very cool! We're destroying our planet and flooding our coastal cities while doing it! We're a stupid ape like creature that doesn't have the sense that we need to just stop.
