r/ClimateChangeSurprise is a subreddit with 470 members. The most common kinds of discussions are news and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses climate change, global warming, extreme heat, heat wave, and melting ice.
Airports closed by heat, Arctic seed vaults flooding with melt water, oak trees cracking in a polar vortex, earthquakes increasing from water redistribution, methane explosions in the permafrost-- the unpredictable consequences of global climate decay are on the rise.
Meanwhile science is announing the "faster-sooner-more than expected" drumbeat rate of change.
This subreddit is about the unforeseen, suddenly seen in climate change. It exists to chronicle and discuss what no one saw coming.

: "Warming-stoked tides ate a hole at the bottom of one of Greenland’s major glaciers, accelerating its retreat.
