Greenland ice sheet has melted past the point of no return
'With 3 quadrillion tons of ice sitting atop Greenland — that’s 3,000,000,000,000,000 tons — there is a lot more to melt, chip, and shatter into the oceans' #climatechange e360.yale.edu/features/in-gr…

Great video of our #GhostGear teams at work here! This 👇 is how we end marine pollution & protect our marine environments. 🪝♻️🐳

At this rate, by 2100 more than half of the world's marine species may stand on the brink of extinction. 🌊💧🐟

Boeing plans to have all its commercial airplanes flying on 100% biofuel by 2030 to reduce its carbon footprint significantly.

Did you know that 73 percent of beach litter worldwide is plastic. A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute. #RethinkPlastic

Review by J Goldbogen @GoldbogenLab & P Madsen Aarhus Universitet revisits the physiology and biomechanics of the #BlueWhale to enable informed decisions on ensuring co-existence in face of increasing human encroachment into marine habitats. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper out today PNASNews by Frances Davenport Frances Davenport, Marshall Burke & Noah Diffenbaugh @StanfordEarth Stanford Woods Institute shows approximately 36% of the cost of U.S. flood damages from 1988 to 2017 is a result of historical precipitation changes pnas.org/content/118/4/…

Less than 10% of plastics are recycled. When virgin plastic is cheaper to produce that recycled products, where is the incentive to recycle? It’s not the answer.
We need to tackle the underlying structures that perpetuate the #plasticpollution crisis.

New work in @nature shows potential of marine #zooplankton to significantly alter physical & biogeochemical structure of the water column—could influence ocean nutrient distribution; climate models—I Houghton, J Koseff, S Monismith & J Dabiri Stanford Engineering nature.com/articles/s4158…

Current climate models crudely represent or altogether miss out complex Arctic interactions.

Earth system models are needed for ice sheet dynamics, biogeochemical cycles, permafrost thaw, vegetation change and wetland dynamics, plus the atmosphere & ocean.eos.org/editors-vox/in…

New research warns the earth may be approaching key tipping points, including the runaway loss of ice sheets, that could fundamentally disrupt the global climate system. Growing concern is a change in ocean circulation and climate patterns e360.yale.edu/features/as-cl… via Yale Environment 360

Research suggests if warming continues it will have serious consequences for ice sheets & ocean circulation #ClimateChange Depths of the Weddell Sea are warming five times faster than elsewhere phys.org/news/2020-10-d… via Phys.org
