🫧 Shipping regulations to reduce pollution may have exacerbated Great Barrier Reef bleaching

Shipping regulations to reduce pollution may have exacerbated Great Barrier Reef bleaching
Rising ocean temperatures have been implicated in mass coral bleaching events affecting the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). These events have been increasingly frequent, with major events occurring in 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025. Now, in an unexpected turn of events, it appears that regulations introduced in 2020 to reduce ship fuel pollution may have actually increased the solar radiation that leads to increased coral bleaching, according to a study published in Nature Communications Eart…

Accounting for the effects of year-to-year climate variation on population growth rate can substantially decrease the size of a species' expected geographic range— by an average of 22% in this simulation study with a new method for range modeling
doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.30.621

The impacts of climate variability on the niche concept and distributions of species
Ecological demographers know that year-to-year climate variability influences the long-term growth of populations and thus their viability. Despite this, species distribution models (SDMs), widely used to project species’ geographic distributions based on climate, typically ignore inter-annual climate variability. Here, we show that climate variability plays a crucial role in determining current and future distributions of species. We achieved this by developing a new SDM framework, XSDM, tha…

Precedented, but not the same:
If ICE and CBP are basically the reincarnation of the KKK, it’s the KKK with a budget the size of Russia’s entire military.
Literally. In the literal sense of “literally.” The incoming ICE CBP budget is ~$140 billion.[1] Russia’s military budget is ~$145 billion.[2]

The Italian tech holding company Bending Spoons, has developed a reputation for buying tech companies past their peak and aggressively cutting costs.

Layoffs followed many of those deals. In September 2024, just months after being acquired by Bending Spoons, WeTransfer laid off 75% of its staff.

Want to ride your bicycle? Study highlights rise of Canada's bike network
A new Simon Fraser University study has found that Canada's cycling network is growing, but not everyone is benefiting. Between 2022 and 2024, nearly 3,600 kilometers of high-quality cycling infrastructure was added across the country, with the largest proportional increases seen in small- to medium-sized cities. But one consistent finding across Canadian cities is that areas with more children and older adults tend to have less cycling infrastructure.

Heat map of first births by age (15-45) and year (1980-2024) as births per 1000 women. Early there is a strong peak around age 23-25 of about 75 births per 1000 women, later a peak at around 32, of circa 65 births. However, most of the shift of the peak occurs between 1980 and 2010, and the main change seen 2010-2024 is a systematic drop-off in births in the teens-mid 20s range.

If a person says they didn't support Harris Walz because of (progressive reasons), but now admit they didn't realize it would get this bad and they should have supported Harris in 2024... I can at least respect that they are able to see it was a mistake and now regret their choice.
The progressive nitwits in January 2026 that can take a look at all this and still not regret their choice to snub Harris... I just can't understand it.

Immigration has been a centerpiece of Trump’s platform throughout more than a decade of political life,
-- and was at the core of his 2024 election campaign.
But polls show public opinion has shifted amid the widely circulated operations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and other federal agents in urban areas.
Those operations have this month seen the shooting deaths of two US citizens in Minneapolis.

ICE on US streets challenges American norms, founding values
The Trump administration has moved ICE's center of activity from the US border with Mexico to the heart of US cities. Federal agents' encounters with the public are challenging the foundational ideas of America.

Amy Klobuchar couldn’t get a majority of the DFL straw poll vote in South Minneapolis — a measly 30% — and she is •running unopposed•.
Shades of 2024 when a strong “uncommitted” primary vote for unopposed Biden presaged electoral disaster.
Minnesotans, use this to light a fire under her. Harangue her office. And hey…maybe field a primary opponent. Freak her campaign and the State DFL the absolute fuck out.
It’s a win if we get a better nominee •or• if we get her to show a little more fight again ICE and Trump.
