Warmer weather has made the frigid continent more hospitable to two flowering plants, which are now proliferating.

    “signs of life show the catastrophe approaching”

    Edit: I’m so sorry. I ment to write that in sarcasm font.

      There’s not supposed to be that kind of life there, that’s the problem.

        I mean, there’s not supposed to be anything anywhere. Life fills niches. There’s no “supposed to” about it. Whether that’s good or bad for other life is a different matter.

            Depends on the conversation. There are a lot of misunderstandings around evolution.

      “but the climate is always changing”

      Too bad we built a civilization on the assumption it wouldn’t

      Good for Antartica, bad for the rest of the planet.

      Like when you’re chilling on a beach and all the crabs come out of the ocean and walk past you uphill.

      Or when you’re walking in the middle of the desert and these large birds start circling overhead.

      Or like raaaaaiiiinnnnn, on your wedding day,
