What would the Earth look like if all the ice melted? The answer is terrifying.
How Earth Would Look If All The Ice Melted | Science Insider
A terrifying video from Business Insider, based on National Geographic’s estimation, paints a dark picture of the possible future of our planet. In the video, it is shown that lots of European cities—including Brussels and Venice—would be underwater if this worst-case scenario were to become a reality. Meanwhile, in Africa and the Middle East, Dakar, Accra, and Jeddah would suffer a similar fate. Millions of people in Asian cities like Mumbai, Beijing, and Tokyo would be uprooted from their homes by the rising sea level and be forced to move inland.
In South America, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires would go underwater. As for the United States, the world would watch as places like Houston, San Francisco, New York City, and the entire state of Florida slowly disappear into the sea. As terrifying as these visuals are, they serve as a necessary reminder that as we continue to burn fossil fuels for energy and emit carbon into our atmosphere, the planet gets warmer and warmer. A study published in Science Advances by researchers in the U.S., U.K., and Germany warns that we have enough fossil fuel resources at our disposal to completely melt the Antarctic ice sheet.

Woman’s poem about missing her long-distance best friend is melting everyone’s hearts
Don’t we all wish that our best friend lived next door to us? Best friends are always special as we can share anything and everything with them. In fact, we feel much closer to our best friends than we do with our family or partner, wishing they lived near us so that we could meet them every day. Shannon Haly—who goes by @shannonhaly on Instagram—has one such special person who lives far away from her. To express her longing for her BFF, Haly wrote and recited a beautiful poem that amassed a large audience on Instagram and resonated with many.
“Today, I was passing two girls just like us and it sort of just stopped me, just made my heart crush because the way they were laughing, they had these tears in their eyes,” and added, “No words were coming, just joy making them cry.” Revealing what actually made her sad, the filmmaker rendered, “They were a little bit younger, around the age that we first met and I think maybe that’s why it made me so upset.”
Haly recited, “Because these girls in the future may live an ocean away and they won’t get to see each other every single day,” and expressed how she wanted to travel back in time when she and her bestie were meeting each other often. “I would just give anything to just rewind and go back at the days of just laughing on a Monday just like that,” she added, “I hope you know that you never leave my mind and I talk about you to everybody all of the time.”

Mom explains how to avoid creating lifelong bad memories for kids when they make mistakes
It is natural to lose patience from time to time as a parent. After all, children can be a handful pretty often. However, one mom’s recent frustration led her to realize that she might be unintentionally harming her child and leaving a negative memory ingrained in her forever. Thankfully, the mom, @MrsJellySanton on Twitter, has also figured out a way to control herself from having emotional outbursts in front of her children in a sweet way.
Santos, who works as a radio show producer, left a series of tweets to spark discussion on an important topic after a trivial interaction with her daughter. “Let me tell you how easy it is to create lifelong bad memories for your kids,” she wrote in the first tweet. “The other day a conversation about lipstick with my toddler reminded me how easy it is to cause damage to these little beings.” In the following tweets, Santos elaborated on the story about losing her patience when her daughter smeared lipstick on her face while they were running late.

Some of her other artwork. So she mixed her eyeshadow with clear lipgloss and made me this lipstick. 😂
