Un estudio publicado en la revista científica Actas de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de los Estados Unidos de América (PNAS) reveló que la fauna marina en la zona crepuscular del Golfo de México disminuyó cerca de un 60 por ciento tras la explosión de la plataforma Deepwater Horizon en 2010.
La investigación, encabezada por la oceanógrafa biológica Tracey Sutton, documentó que entre 2011 y 2015 la presencia de peces cayó un 63.5 por ciento, los crustáceos un 62 por ciento y especies de mayor tamaño como calamares y pulpos un 59.7 por ciento en la franja afectada por el vertido de más de 507 millones de litros de crudo.

Sadly in 2026 the basic truth is that @andyburnham cannot honestly say today’s children have safe long term futures.
That’s a fact.
He isn’t addressing it, talking about it, won’t level with the public about how bad the climate crisis really is and nor will almost any politicians. Neither are the media.

Qué significa para la humanidad la sexta extinción masiva de la #Tierra
La actividad humana está llevando a plantas y animales a la extinción a un ritmo sin precedentes. La pérdida de #biodiversidad ya amenaza el suministro de alimentos, el agua potable y el desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos. (ct)

This polar bear died of starvation in its homeland, which is supposed to be teeming with prey. Photographer and biologist Paul Nicklen, who has spent more than 30 years in the Arctic, says that during most of those years he only came across one dead polar bear, and then within just two weeks his team found two that had died of starvation. Polar bears rely on sea ice to hunt seals, and with rising temperatures and receding ice, the search for food becomes longer and more difficult, potentially ending with some of them dying of hunger.
There are 26,000 polar bears left on the planet. By the end of the century, climate change could bring them to extinction as the melting of the Arctic increases: https://t.co/GKpwRlUVhP
