“New research, led by #WHOI seabird ecologist Stephanie Jenouvrier, warns that melting sea ice imperils 98% of emperor penguin colonies by 2100.
The study helped inform a proposal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the species as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
“The lifecycle of emperor penguins is tied to having stable sea ice, which they need to breed, to feed and to molt,” Jenouvrier told AP in an interview. Read the full article here.”

Tragic and foolish:
“Imminent extinction of Interior steelhead runs foretells what's to come for Fraser River salmon: experts
Only 19 spawning adults returned to the Chilcotin watershed this spring, down from 418 in 2015 and a peak of 3,149 in 1985.”
Kevin Hester
“"However, the added protections meant closing commercial fisheries which would cost upwards of $24 million, potentially devastating the industry."
Capitalism decided that the Steelhead Salmon weren't worth saving.
Gaia has come to the same conclusion regarding humans.”

“‘Biden may as well personally light more wildfires’: Backlash after White House calls for more oil production
UN’s authoritative climate report, published on Monday, urges drastic emissions cuts which means dialing back rapidly on use of fossil fuels”
“The day after the United Nation's 'code red' climate report was released last week Biden urged OPEC to increase oil production. There is no way to address the #ClimateEmergency without limiting oil production and we'll hold Biden accountable to his promises.”

“The contradictions of bourgeois democracy and the capitalist-imperialist order it reflects give rise to a recurrent intra-capitalist conflict between those preferring Class Rule Door # 1 and Class Rule Door #2. Door #1 cloaks the underlying de facto class dictatorship of imperial capital with outwardly democratic, representative and parliamentary forms. Door #2 ushers in open authoritarianism, dictatorship, with rampant racial and ethnic othering, and the embrace of political violence – in a word, fascism. When push comes to shove under the constant anarchic and many-sided chaos and savage, democracy-disabling inequality inflicted by capital’s endless (inherent) de-stabilizing and competitive, growth-addicted and life-commodifying struggle for profits, the logic of authoritarianism and indeed fascism is constantly pressed to the front of ruling class minds.”
