Climate stripes for Portsmouth (UK) relative to the 1961-2010 average.

When politicians deny the scientific evidence ask yourself do they have a conflict of interest. Do the people funding them have a conflict of interest.

This week’s #WildWednesday: Antarctic salps. Not jellyfish, but tunicates more closely related to us than to jellies. They pump water to swim and feed, form massive clone chains, and help sink carbon to the deep sea.

One of the reasons we embarked on our PFAS study was we felt contaminants in sewage were considered a temporary issue with bacteria dying ‘relatively’ quickly in seawater. We found PFAS concentrations increased after sewage discharges into protected areas

Disappointingly little media attention being paid to this alarming new study. Instead, we're hearing about Bill Gates "tough truths" [read b.s.] downplaying the climate crisis.
