Just saw a reference to the former Ok glacier in Iceland, which a few years ago shrunk so much that it stopped being a glacier. Please read this plaque they put up next to it.

@holly@social.v.st #altText The end of the plaque says "August 2019, 415ppm CO2"

@holly@social.v.st One day, this will be displayed in a future museum somewhere, as an artifact from "the Greedy Era".

@holly@social.v.st there’s a really lovely documentary about Iceland’s glaciers that’s narrated by the guy who wrote this, it’s called Time and Water and near the end it goes into him figuring out what to write on this plaque
