In an unconscionable decision, the Smithsonian Institute has decided to no longer support the Biodiversity Heritage Library from 1 Jan 2026. Please someone step up and take it over.
Foundations: please step up and take over the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). This is an absolutely essential scanned archive of all of the old journals and books from the 1500s to about 1920. Has been indispensable for my research.

Here's a figure from IPCC AR6 Summary for Policymakers showing the linear relationship between fucking around and finding out.
Every tonne of CO₂ we add to the atmosphere makes things worse for us and all other living things.

While a lot of challenges remain, and numbers are likely less than 2% of what they were in the pre-colonial era, this is still a wonderful success story, showing conservation CAN work.
