I'm beginning to notice a correlation between new iphones and climate change...

to be fair there is a lot of causation there

I mean in a round about, somewhat symbolic way...

They used to say "go see the glaciers before they no longer exist" and that time came faster than people expected.

We are so, so boned.

Dang that dog ate all that ice and drank so much lake

Look at his face, he'd do it again too!

On the walk up to that glacier there are markers that show where it used to be on the path up. If I remember right it used to be a mile long from the point that photo is taken from only 40 years ago.

Gosh, that's a striking mental image. I don't have words to adequately describe how I feel right now. It's the same thing I felt when I looked at the images in the OP, except distilled down and super concentrated

The iPhone peaked at 6 anyway. Let's save the planet and go back to using old phones.

The last pic might be a bit controversial. That lake destroyed one of the most beautiful places in Utah with countless ancient artifacts lost forever. I would love to see Glen Canyon someday without it being under a lake. Hayduke lives.

Did the dog eat that glacier?

Dogs cause global warming confirmed!

The amount of methane my dog emits should classify our home as a Superfund site.

that hippy looking doggo needs a haircut and a job.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

And the sign said, "long-haired hippy doggo", need not apply

I visited a glacier up here in Canada a couple years ago, it was very cool but also really sad compared to how it was a decade ago.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have to wonder if these are the same time of year.

Like... probably. Climate change has definitely caused this much damage and worse. But one should always be skeptical of images on the internet, doubly so if you agree with them.

Even the Dog is sad..

That dog looks like a sad goth

Pfft, conformist.

I thought the second picture was just zoomed out and was like "damn, the earlier phones were so much better!"

But then realized that this is a side-by-side comparison of the same exact spot showing the same specific section of a blue glacier. And it's.... I just realized that growing up, I saw glaciers in the mountains that are now probably entirely gone. That's insane to think about. That glaciers just... Won't...be anymore. I wonder what the ramifications and implications of that are? OH WAIT WE ALREADY FUCKING KNOW
