Take action on climate change at .
Over the next 200 years, we can expect all of the Earth's glaciers to disappear — unless we act now, says writer Andri Snær Magnason. Telling the story of the Okjökull glacier in Iceland, the first glacier lost to climate change, Magnason explains why we need to start connecting to the future in a more intimate, urgent way in order to stabilize the Earth for generations to come.

A copied comment:
“Over the course of Earth’s life, there have been a total of five ice ages, each of them lasting for millions of years. During these Ice Ages, there are periods of glaciations and interglaciations. There are probably hundreds of these
such periods in each ice age.
I really do like this format better. It’s more powerful than an expert on the red circle.
