Ever notice small scale #aquaculture (SSA) doesn't seem to get much attention? Us too. We ran a semi-quant synthesis of the the literature and found it is poorly defined, missing from the US & Europe, & underrepresented in marine systems (e.g., oysters) dx.doi.org/10.1111/raq....

🌊 Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves

If global temps stay <2 °C, nearly all 64 ice shelves survive by 2300. But above ~4.5 °C, ocean melt causes 38 shelves to collapse by 2300, risking up to 10 m sea level rise.

Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves - Nature
The viability of Antarctic ice shelves under low rates and high rates of global warming is modelled to estimate when it will become unfeasible for the ice shelves to maintain their present-day shape.

For me, our latest Doughnut findings underscore the urgency and importance of the collective work to move beyond GDP as the measure of economic success, reorienting economies to create a future that provides a good life for all within planetary boundaries. Dive in! /FIN

A revised ‘Doughnut’ providing a visual assessment of trends in social deprivation and planetary degradation over the past two decades shows more than doubling of global GDP accompanied by accelerating ecological overshoot but only a modest reduction in human deprivation.

The CDC director is an “inherently political position, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be politically compromised”, she tells @nature.com.
