Meet the “squidworm” 🦑🪱

Discovered by WHOI biologist Larry Madin and colleagues, this 4-inch-long animal was just one of roughly 6,000 new species uncovered during the Census of Marine Life, a decade-long global effort involving more than 2,700 scientists to explore and document ocean life.

Arctic Sea Route access reshapes global shipping carbon emissions - Nature Communications
Arctic Sea Route access will raise global shipping CO2 by 8.2% by 2100 and worsen regional inequities. IMO 2023 strategy and Green Corridor plans fall short; only a net-zero pathway with stricter fuels and phased rollout eliminates ASR emissions.

Total lost international aviation fuel tax revenue for the EU is in the tens of billions per year.

The aviation sector benefits from unjustified tax exemptions that, if left unaddressed, will rise in value by 38% in the next three years.

Paris-Berlin sleeper: low carbon, 2 years old, constantly full, but currently losing SNCF a few million EUR/yr

Intl Jet fuel tax exemptions are 80 years old and cost the EU 22 million EUR/yr for the Paris-Berlin route alone.

And you're cutting... the sleeper?

Times reports "soaring" number of Britons think climate change is exaggerated

Well, not really - they're still in a heavy minority

Not good news but tbh given relentless tide of shite about climate action served up by RW media I'm pleased it isn't worse

Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ??

This is the best explanation of the weird new ant paper.
essaywells.bsky.social
EssayWells @essaywells.bsky.social · Sep 4
The paper has helpful diagrams and it's WILD. They clone the other species so they can produce sterile hybrid workers. It's like if a horse could occasionally give birth to a donkey deliberately so they can make mules to serve them while they sit on their... horse throne... as horse queens do.

This will continue to fuel thinking and debate on the net value or harm of Antarctic tourism. The average tourist trip emits more carbon than a typical European does in a year.

To pay it off, tourism needs to generate a huge post-cruise benefit to the climate.

Fancy a trip to Antarctica? Research reveals 'significant' carbon footprint
More than 100,000 international tourists — including almost 10,000 Australians — travel to Antarctica each year. But a new study shows that getting there creates a significant carbon footprint.
