How is it acceptable to ship 2900 cows, half of those pregnant, from Uruguay to Turkey to be slaughtered?! I'm at loss for words at humans' lack of empathy for "the other", be it human or non-human.

The indifference of media and politics towards the possibility of the #AMOC shutting down shocked me when I first studied it.
With time and study, I became less naive (or more disillusioned). So, I'm glad that #Iceland has declared it a real, existential risk.

A crucial system of ocean currents may be on course to collapse. This country just declared it a national security threat | CNN
Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of collapse and the country is preparing for this “existential threat.”

Fertilizer runoff from livestock feed is contaminating U.S. groundwater. But replacing just 10% of meat with alternative proteins could slash the risk of nitrate pollution by up to 20%.

Could Tyrannosaurus rex swim like its silver screen equivalent in the new Jurassic World film?
The big carnivore was probably able to do the dino doggypaddle, but a big body full of air sacs may have been the reptile more of a "tipsy punter" than a skilled swimmer. I dig in at NatGeo. 🧪
