## Resource

Antarctica’s west coast is melting fast—literally. An area the size of France, normally frozen solid during winter, is now ice-free, marking the third major ice collapse in four years. Scientists are sounding alarms, calling it “depressing” and warning it could become permanent. The loss threatens krill, penguins, and even global sea levels, with emperor penguins already endangered due to past die-offs. This isn’t just a pretty problem—it’s a climate crisis unfolding in real time. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
