Climate change usually means trouble, but a new discovery is flipping the script for some marine life. Melting icebergs in the Arctic are spreading rocks across the sea floor, and those rocks are slowly becoming new footholds for corals, sponges, and other deep-sea creatures, according to a study published in Nature.
For Americans who mostly follow climate news through doom-and-gloom headlines, this one is different. It’s not that climate change is suddenly good news. It’s that the planet’s response to it is more complicated and sometimes more amazing than we give it credit for.
