*Glug, glug*

Melting glaciers are bad. Especially for people who hate the shore, beach, coastline, or whatever you are comfortable calling it. NASA released data showing that since 2003, 2 trillion tons of ice have melted from landlocked glaciers. That's 2 followed by this many zeros 000,000,000,000.

For one last number-- this has added 1/5 of an inch to the world's ocean. THE WORLD'S OCEAN. Like the 71% of stuff that covers the planet, the whole thing, increased by 1/5 of an inch in 5 years.
