  10. This is a terrific piece on the Thwaites Glacier & why its melting matters, though nicknaming it "The Doomsday Glacier" is yet another trope of crisis-deferral; as if climate breakdown were an apocalypse-to-come, rather than always-already unfolding.

    A few of us have been trying to warn about this for a while, and have been scoffed at by foresters and conservationists. It's a real issue, and denying or dismissing it helps no one.
