🧊 Millions of People Are at Risk of This Rare Climate Change Threat

Feb. 8, 2023

Climate change isn't only about shifts in global temperatures. Everything has a ripple effect. As the world warms, our planet's glaciers will continue to melt, leading to rising sea levels. And this poses a unique danger to the people living near these glacial regions.

How big of a danger can sometimes be hard to quantify. But this past week, researchers published the results of a new study that sought to understand the number of people who would be at risk of flooding from glacial lakes. That number? 15 million people. Read on to understand the implications of the new study and what researchers say some solutions might be.

Millions of People Are at Risk of This Rare Climate Change Threat — Study

You’ve probably heard that glaciers are in big trouble due to climate change.

But glacial melt due to global warming isn’t just a problem for rising sea levels — it also poses an urgent threat to millions of people living near the icy masses. New research assesses for the first time the number of people worldwide who are at risk of flooding from glacial lakes. The findings were published Tuesday in the journal Nature.

The Real Hero of James Gunn’s DCU is Grant Morrison

Two days before James Gunn revealed his grand plans for the DC Universe, formally “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters,” Comic Book Resources sang the praises of Scottish comic book writer Grant Morrison and their impact on DC Comics.

“Grant Morrison's concept that the Justice League is a group of mythological heroes watching over mortals is still echoed throughout the DC Universe,” wrote essayist Eli Essinger, “Morrison breathed new life into a franchise that was beginning to fade into obscurity.”

On January 31, Comic Book Resource’s observations on Morrison felt prophetic as James Gunn pulled back the curtain on his grand plan for the DC franchise, which showed a special focus on Grant Morrison comics.

ESA's New Juice Mission Might Finally Uncover Jupiter's Hidden Secrets

The frozen moons of Jupiter will reveal their secrets to the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) in 2031, when the mission is predicted to reach the gas giant and kicks off a new exploration into the nature of life in the Solar System.

Like its name suggests, the mission from the European Space Agency (ESA) will look at three icy Jovian moons that might be habitable: Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. Juice will build upon what’s already known about their compositions and surfaces, explore questions about thermal vents that might exist at the bottom of their alien oceans, and explore how the Solar System works, how Jupiter influences its planet-sized moons, and if life could have emerged somewhere else other than Earth.

Porsche’s Next Electric SUV Could Be an Off-Road Beast

Porsche may be known for its legacy of two-seater sports cars, but it’s been more focused on paving its way toward becoming a serious luxury EV brand. Porsche’s latest step in that electrified future comes in the form of a higher-end fully electric SUV. This EV is only known by its internal codename so far, the K1, which was first reported by Autocar.

So far, we know that the K1 will be a seven-seater luxury SUV that will be capable of off-roading. From the info teased by Autocar, it looks like Porsche is targeting the demographic that would otherwise go for something like the Lamborghini Urus or Ferrari Purosangue. As compared to Porsche’s existing models, we’re expecting the K1 to be a souped-up version of Porsche’s Cayenne or Macan models.
