  • Accelerating Ocean Heat Breaks All-Time Records

    North Atlantic Ocean temperature is on a red-hot streak. New research finds ocean temperatures… “have now smashed previous heat records for at least seven years in a row.” (Lijing Cheng, et al, “New Record Ocean Temperatures and Related Climate Indicators in 2023”, Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, January 2024.) Certainly, it’s nothing to mess around with […]

  • The Fastest Warming on Earth

    In the High Arctic scientists discovered million-year-old methane (CH4) trapped under some of the world’s mightiest glaciers detected via unprecedented groundwater springs. Analyses of 123 springs found CH4 in all but one. As the massive glaciers recede, space opens at the edge of permafrost, releasing ancient methane. This is one more totally unexpected global warming […]

    Urgent: CGL Causes Heartbreaking Damage to Our Rivers

    TC Energy, in the construction of the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline (CGL) has been reported by the Narwhal and a Citizen Monitoring Group as “having committed numerous environmental infractions, including slope failures, flooded worksites, and sediment entering wetlands and waterways.” Helicopter flyovers of the area revealed heartbreaking footage of the destruction of our territory, currently otherwise […]

  • Aqueous Matters: Europe’s Water Crisis

    Europe is joining a number of other regions on the planet in suffering a prolonged water crisis; and it is one that shows little sign of abating.

  • The Ghost of Hugo Grotius: The UN High Seas Treaty

    Ever so rarely, the human species can reach accord and agreement on some topic seemingly contentious and divergent. Such occasions tend to be rarer than hen’s teeth, but the UN High Seas Treaty was one of them. It took over two decades of agonising, stuttering negotiations to draft an agreement and went someway to suggest […]

  • Big Heat Hits Antarctica

    A recent report out of West Antarctica is rattling scientists. It’s all about heat, big-time heat, encroaching upon the world’s biggest chunk of ice that locks down a couple hundred feet of sea level rise. This kind of news is enough to raise the hackles of smart well-informed people, as excessive CO2 emissions spewing like […]
