Climate – The Baltic Is in Trouble. Real Trouble.
The Baltic Sea lost 275 billion tones of water in a matter of weeks. Sea levels dropped 67 centimeters below the long-term average — a record that stretches back 140 years. To put that in perspective: you would have to go back to 1886 to find anything comparable. And scientists are emphatic that this is not some peculiar meteorological quirk. This is climate change doing what climate change does — reshaping the planet, quietly, relentlessly, and now with increasing speed.
