pscot's JournalWarnings of new Arctic explosions at some 700-plus sites in Yamal due to thawing permafrost

A multi-year survey of the nutritional, physiological and reproductive health of endangered southern resident killer whales suggests that up to two-thirds of pregnancies failed in this population from 2007 to 2014. The study links this orca populations low reproductive success to stress brought on by low or variable abundance of their most nutrient-rich prey, Chinook salmon.

terrifying discussion of the looming climate singularity
Professor Guy McPherson and Peter Wadhams, two of the leading voices on climate change and the Arctic methane risk. Wadhams mentions that everything is going exponential and discusses the implications of the loss of sea ice. Professor Chu hypothesises that we will exceed 600ppm of carbon and that excludes the forcing of all the other green house gases including methane. That is unsurvivable btw
