  3. Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease

    "Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
    "Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

  4. 🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 THE NHL COACHING CHURN

    Q is an outlier. NHL average is about three years, last time I looked. Oilers, 2+.
    I don’t know how this rate of churn helps build organizational stability. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.
    I do think Q’s time in Chicago speaks to the value, from a Cup-winning perspective, of letting coach and team go through the inevitable ups and downs without threat of firing.
    But that requires organizational (and, especially, owner) patience. And especially in hockey-mad/obsessive/fanatic markets.
    I imagine the tenure of coach Mike Babcock will be short, here in Oilerville. Regardless of any Cup success. More churn.
    I’m very curious to watch coach and wunderkind Martin St-Louis and the Habs over the next few years

  5. 🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 HOCKEY, MONEY, CUPS
    Montreal. They are the other template. They have an emerging and large elite corps signed for win-friendly contracts for 5-8 years.
    Let’s see how the two models (get rich v get Cup) play out over the next five years.
    McD isn’t here in Oilerville for the money. As long as there’s a good chance to win the Cup, I believe he’s with Drai and Bouch. That chance to win gets better as so many other teams deal with the “get rich” model.

    Montreal will win multiple Cups in the next decade. Oilers, a couple. The get rich players? Not so many.

  6. "Hotter oceans
    exacerbate the sea level rise and extreme storms that threaten billions of people, as well as driving marine heatwaves that decimate sea life and undermine coastal livelihoods, scientists warned."

    "The average surface temperature was 21.1C, with the rising marine heat a stark indicator of the climate crisis. More than 90% of the heat trapped by carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning enters the oceans."

    "Most of the planet-heating CO2 from fossil fuel burning and forest destruction is absorbed by the oceans. However, a hotter ocean is less efficient at absorbing CO2. This is potentially weakening one of the planet’s most important natural buffers against global heating, the scientists said."

    “Fossil fuel emissions need to be rapidly reduced. Meanwhile, it is essential that countries protect marine and coastal ecosystems. Kelp beds, mangroves and marshes absorb carbon and coral reefs protect against storms and provide habitat. More than 190 governments have committed to protect and conserve at least 30% of the planet by 2030, and now is the time to turn that commitment into effective, durable conservation on the ground.” >>

  8. An underwater disaster: Marine heatwaves are cooking our ocean ecosystems – and will only become more common

    " Marine heatwaves happen when the ocean remains abnormally hot for an extended period. While they may be invisible from the shore, their impacts can wreak havoc underwater – killing various kinds of coral, seagrass and fish." >>

  9. Our climate fiasco: Falls in whale sightings, rare seabirds appearing

    "A huge, long-lasting and extreme marine heatwave stayed in place for many months. It became known as “the Blob”. Water temperatures were between 2°C and 6°C above normal. While this may not seem like a drastic change, it led to widespread ecosystem disruption. At least 240 species were found outside their normal ranges – some further north than ever recorded."

    "It’s hard to overstate how extensive its effects were. Kelp forests disappeared. Millions of starfish dissolved into goo. Whales died. Seabirds starved. Toxic algal blooms appeared." >>

  17. From climate denial to agnotology (the study of how ignorance and doubt are deliberately, culturally, or politically manufactured)

    "It’s worth noting, human-made greenhouse gas emissions are the main driver of rising global average temperatures. However, El Niño can tip these temperatures to record breaking levels." >>

    "Agnotology is the study of deliberate, culturally cultivated ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product, influence opinion, or win favour, particularly through the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data (i.e. disinformation). More generally, the term includes the condition where more knowledge of a subject creates greater uncertainty." >>

  18. #Algal #Toxins emerge as a new concern in #Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea

    Locals who depend on the sea for food and culture are trying to understand the risks to traditional foods and wildlife populations in a region undergoing myriad changes

    by Yereth Rosen, Alaska Beacon, May 31, 2026 via #ICTNews

    Excerpt: "For countless generations, people of the #BeringStrait region have relied on the food they harvest from the sea without worrying about #HarmfulAlgalBlooms [#HABs] that threaten seafood eaters in warmer and more southern latitudes.

    "Now, as the Northern Bering Sea undergoes cascading effects of a warming climate, algal risks pose a new challenge.

    "The change has been dramatic.

    "And it has prompted a change in the way #Nome youth grow up learning about collecting food from the waters around their home. In early April, Nome high school students traveled to Bethel with their science teacher, where they presented their research at the Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference held by Alaska Sea Grant.

    "Algal toxins were present, at very low but detectable levels, in fish they eat.

    "Sophomore Audrey Bruner-Alvanna was among the group of student researchers. She said young people are concerned about algal blooms, which proliferate in warmer conditions, and their potential effects on wild food resources.

    " 'Because, you know, as the climate changes, as the world gets warmer and stuff, there’s going to be more of these toxins and stuff during summer,' she said. 'I feel like a lot of people that I’ve talked to have been wondering about how our subsistence is going to change in the future based on all of that.'

    "The student research came about after one of the nation’s densest and biggest concentrations of toxin-producing Alexandrium algae ever documented burst forth in the waters of the Bering Strait region in 2022.

    "Until the appearance of the 'massive bloom, the most toxic bloom, the longest-persisting bloom in the U.S.,' local people barely knew what harmful algal blooms or #Alexandrium are, said Emma Pate, president of the Nome Eskimo Community, the local tribal government.

    " 'So we had to figure things out and learn really fast,' Pate said during an October 'Strait Science' presentation hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Nome campus."

  25. Watching the #NHLPlayoffs and the seismic activity tracker in Montreal and it is genuinely hilarious. The little spike you see at 22:10 is when Montreal scored a goal that ended up being offside.

    I am not a #Habs fan, but I cheer for Canada. Also, the idea of the #StanleyCup and the #WalterCup being in the same city is worth cheering for the #Canadiens. I also like #Youppi.

  29. Is (Adelaide's) stormwater contributing to the toxic algal bloom?

    "... Stormwater "had never been sexy" and, as long as it was flushed away, it did not get the attention nor the government investment it deserved."

    "The EPA's Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS) summary of 2008 stated that nutrient loads had increased 30 to 50 times since European settlement, and recommended steps to reduce wastewater, stormwater and industrial inputs. The study found the loss of seagrass was "mainly due to stormwater flows" "

  30. Brewing oceans, brewing storms, making a blooming disaster

    "Over the past year, Australia’s oceans have been hotter than ever before...The continued burning of fossil fuels has caused our atmosphere to warm by approximately 1.2 degrees C since the pre-industrial era....If you change what happens in the oceans, you start to change the whole system...The problem with climate change is we’re hitting that system incredibly hard with extra energy and we’re putting a lot of pressure on the oceans."

  31. Warming the climate and run off is making harmful algal blooms worse
    Turning the ocean into a lifeless 'dead zone'

    "The scale of each harmful algal bloom event seems to be increasing...We're basically seeing that the warming climate is changing the frequency and length and locations and toxicity of harmful algal blooms...If there isn't something done to mitigate, to reduce climate emissions, warming will continue and these kinds of events will be more and more likely."

  32. Widespread marine species mortalities a ‘human-mediated disaster’

    "Effects of marine heatwave driving ‘foreseeable’ SA algal bloom could rival black summer fires, scientists warn."

    “Alongside rapidly reducing emissions, Australia needs to be better prepared for environmental disasters such as this. We should all accept that this is likely to just be the tip of the iceberg for what our future looks like with unmitigated climate change and rapid biodiversity loss,” James Trezise, Biodiversity Council director

    "Prepare for “an increasingly dangerous and unstable future.""

  34. @anne_twain FFS! Nuclear plant discharges of heated water can also increase #HABs! Very bad!

    " 'It is possible that activities associated with the working [desalination] plant, such as brine discharge and entrainment in the intake structure, will change the ecology of the plankton in the region and may promote blooms of harmful/toxic algal species which have been identified as components of the plankton community off Port Stanvac. Further monitoring is required before the impact of the Adelaide desalination plant on the plankton community off Port Stanvac can be adequately assessed.' "

    Why the #GulfOfMaine Surface Ocean Waters are Warming Faster than Elsewhere

    Posted on July 23, 2024Written by Rob Moir, Ph.D. No Comments

    "None of us are strangers to the reports of the Gulf of Maine heating 97% faster than the world’s oceans. However, the actual reasons for this can be lost in the constant headlines about global warming and rising greenhouse gases. To explain this extraordinary phenomenon, let’s look closely at four factors: surface seawater temperatures, heat severity, air temperature, and rainfall, monthly for five years."
