Most people have never seen a coral reef. Which may be why the news that we are eliminating reefs from the planet seems to fall on deaf ears. Yet reefs are worth getting to know -- here is a start to tempt you beneath the waves. petersalebooks.com/?page_id=…

COP30 is over – now what? Is inequality the problem? petersalebooks.com/cop30-is-… via @PeterSale3
COP30 finished two weeks ago without much fanfair or much accomplished. Perhaps global inequality and rampant capitalism is to blame? I remember when Naomi Klein’s book, This Changes ...

Searching for a place to write about stuff that interests me. Decided to dust off and refresh my blog and be independently old-fashioned. Plan to post about twice a month. Take a look.

Twitter/X algorithm is so good at ensuring you only see the posts you like - my feed is full of comments on the severe coral bleaching event now in progress, and nothing from people who choose not to believe reality.
And yet... no sign we are doubling down on mitigating emissions

I've increasingly been referring to Homo stupidus, but we need a new species name meaning 'obdurately blind and stupid' We knew in the late 1990s that bleaching would become more frequent and more severe if the world failed to cut emissions. Gee whiz. The scientists were right.

Its officially on, the 4th global coral mass bleaching event #4BGE. No something to celebrate, but to be alarmed first, angered and stirred to action. There is no justification for continuing the interests of the few, harming the many, and our one planet. bbc.com/news/science-environ…

It is sad to see that global coral bleaching is occurring again. 1998, 2010, 2014-17, now 2023-?. We need to take every action possible to abate the climate crisis and we need to do it now!

Recent #marinheatwaves and seastar declines led to #kelpforest losses along parts of North America’s west coast. But B.C.'s massive coastline and lack of comprehensive monitoring program made it difficult to assess the impacts here. Until now. 1/2

And media reports of the latest circumtropical bleaching make it sound like something new that we never expected! Humanity is blind.
