Classic Heller
Cherry pick a 2 month anomaly on the suppressed high-Arctic summer mean and ignore the overall warm Arctic conditions through the rest of 2026
Cherry pickers ignore large-scale, multi-decadal, multi-variable record that informs the science

"Last year alone, three glacial lakes burst in Nepal, flooding valleys downstream, with one occurring on the same river as last week’s mega-event. In 2024, the village of Thame in Nepal’s Everest region was flooded, while in 2023 India’s Sikkim and Himachal Pradesh states were deluged. All told, hundreds of people died in these disasters, which were reported in foreign media but did not capture the attention of the world."

@ryankatzrosene Catastrophic floods deliver the acute hazards of rapid ice loss and unstable lakes/debris
And the longer-term risk is the loss of reliable meltwater flows that keep rivers flowing through drier seasons once the glaciers are gone...

A good very service: terminals need to be short walks, ferries hi frequency, simple connections and appropriately sized boats are more likely to create habitual public-transport demand
Low-frequency circle service with large boats isn't the right solution for public transit

[Prof Ray Wills @ProfRayWills]

There's some negativity going around saying peeps in Perth don't want electric ferries

People were pretty keen back in the day

[Prof Ray Wills @ProfRayWills]

Electric ferries - ferry important

WA Labor details $107 million plan for enhanced Swan River ferry service if re-elected - using electric ferries

a little thread

[Prof Ray Wills @ProfRayWills]

@drcwhos Not endorsing (or otherwise) particular terminal locations, Colin
My statements support a ferry network
My history of comments called for world best practice for urban public-transit ferries = frequency, reliability, integration, walk-up access
Not large infrequent vessels

[Prof Ray Wills @ProfRayWills]

Some suggestions of how ferries should go from me in 2017
https://t.co/G79QnCsPF0

[Prof Ray Wills @ProfRayWills]

Transit best for commuter when
short walk, frequent service
Many smaller ferries, not just one!
