Wow. He is suggesting his entire armed forces become war criminals?

Thanks Sandy. And friends in the Mediterranean have their own marine heatwave troubles…

That vaguely irritating… I can’t tell you where that sits in the scale of irritation relating to all the conspiracist “causes” of this bloom. But it’s in there, somewhere in that bucket of crap.

Yes. Wifi

Just need to belt my health back into line enough to start driving again… baby steps to get back into my happy home

Yes. Virtually impossible. After over five years not flying at all, I had 4 clients needing me to ‘hop on a plane’ in the past 18 months. ‘Hopping’ is beyond me, and the flights appalling. I hope I’ll soon be able to use my little bus to trundle off to places I’m called to in Australia, at least.

And only check out the mortalities records if you can bear it - it is horrendously sad. But the citizen science data tells us lots about the timing of the spread of the bloom, and which species were first, later, most, least affected.

That butcher bird’s vocals are pretty amazing

Your HABs are going to like this. I wonder how far inland the respiratory effects of a massive marine Karenia brevis bloom can penetrate?

Nut bar. The kind with just nuts held together with a whiff of toffee. Protein. Fats. Sugar.

Are there people who know Derek, who may be able to help?

Ha! Found you here! Much nicer over here than at that other place!
