Apart from travelling at sea, on foot or in books, I'm a biologist with interests in marine history, fish ecology and management. The ultimate industrial capitalist system is the global fishing industry

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

Exakt så här ska man göra om man vill idiotförklara människor som flytt från Iran, driva den iranska diasporan i famnen på en rojalistisk höger, samt se till att kurder inte känner sig hemma i svenska vänstersammanhang:

Yes, they’ve trivialized antisemitism by using it to mean things that they don’t like, like college campuses, enabling them to be actual antisemites while avoiding criticism.

Omkring 45 procent av den globala handeln med kvävegödsel går genom Hormuzsundet. USA och Israels folkrättsvidriga krig leder till högre matpriser.

War must be going really bad for the US to already start setting up Israel to become the scapegoat for its failures and atrocities

“Ecocide” means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

The presumed upcoming El Nino will help cement and quantify global warming acceleration, showing that 2C global warming is likely to be reached in the 2030s, not at midcentury.

We offer a solution here for reducing overfishing, which in turn will reduce incentives for fradulent labelling. At the end of the day, we can't expect private actors to provide regulation as robust as gov't rules.

I'm not suggesting this is an open secret within the climate science community, but it's remarkable how little impact this sort of research is generating. Because if the rate of warming really has *doubled* then you can kiss goodbye to 2°C. www.carbonbrief.org/pace-of-glob...

For me, nothing announces the arrival of spring in the rainforest like the first flowering wood anemone.

Their unrestrained bright and cheeriness seems to herald the longer, warmer days to come.

"Dessa är relativt små djur som lever i skogsområden som, även om de nu är starkt hotade, inte har utsatts för så många hot förrän på senare tid. Även om vi tidigare endast kände till dem från fossil, har jag alltid trott att de kanske fortfarande finns där ute som levande djur. Nu vet vi"

Thank you for resharing, Eoghan.

Your comments about recognising how large herbivore absence has left ecological gaps in ecosystems and hopefully deciding to do something about it are spot on.

How these koalas bounced back from the brink of extinction Tracking DNA recombination offers hope for other species that have lost genetic diversity.

Effective population size when assessing the health of a population. “It is a relatively novel example of how, in the age of genomics, we can use big data to address really fine-scale questions of evolutionary recovery and demographic processes in threatened species.”

Believe it or not, the Finnish state forestry company is even planning to harvest in the multi-hundred year old state controlled forests that used to belong to the Sámi.

This is totally outrageous and does not belong to this century.

Follow @luonnonmetsatsapmi.bsky.social to see the forests.

Evilution: Why the Psychopaths Always Win The fact that the most dangerous psychopaths end up in the highest positions of power is a huge indictment on society.

China will accelerate its push for renewable and nuclear power and the total electrification of land transport. So will much of Asia. So will most of Europe since it does not wish to depend on Trump’s LNG for a moment longer

The biggest casualty of all is going to be the global oil and gas industry

the war threatens to set off the worst oil supply crisis of the modern age, outstripping even the Arab oil embargo of 1973 or the first Gulf War in 1990. Never before has Iran shut down the choke point controlling a fifth of the world’s oil and seaborne gas supply

Straffavgift för kommuner som höjer skatten Kommuner och regioner som höjer skatten ska få betala en avgift – i tre år. Det föreslår en ny utredning.

"Förutom en avgift för dem som höjer skatten föreslår utredningen att kommuner och regioner som i stället sänker skatten ska få ett bidrag över tre års tid."

Sverige är kaputt. Trasigt.
