The Washington Post reports: Oceans last year reached their highest levels in three decades — with the rate of global sea level rise increasing around 35% higher than expected, according to a NASA-led analysis published Thursday... Last year`s rate of average global sea level rise was 0.23 inches per year, higher than the expected 0.17 inches per year, NASA said in a news release. The rate of global sea level rise follows a trend of rapidly increasing rates over the past 30 years. From 1993 to 2023, the rate of global sea level rise doubled, increasing from 0.08 inches per year to 0.18 inches, another NASA-led study showed. Overall, the global sea level has climbed by 4 inches since 1993. More details from ABC News: Climate change was a major driver to an unexpected level of sea level rise in 2024, according to a new NASA analysis... The majority of the difference between predicted and actual sea level rise was attributed to thermal expansion — or the ocean waters expanding as they warm, researchers said. An unusual amount of ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers, led to the increase of sea level rise last year, according to NASA. About two-thirds of sea level rise in recent years has resulted from the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, with a third coming from thermal expansion, according to NASA. In 2024, those metrics flipped, with two-thirds of the rise attributed to expanding ocean water and one-third attributed to contributions from melting ice. "With 2024 as the warmest year on record, Earth`s expanding oceans are following suit, reaching their highest levels in three decades," said Nadya Vinogradova Shiffer, head of physical oceanography programs and the Integrated Earth System Observatory at NASA... Human-amplified climate change is the primary cause for present-day rising sea levels, climate research shows. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

er statement, the influencer explained the reason behind her actions. "When we found the mother and joey on a road, not moving, I was extremely concerned. As wombats are so often hit on Australian roads, I stopped to ensure they got off the road safely and didn`t get hit," Jones began. "However, as is seen from the video, when I walked up to them, the joey did not move or run off," she continued. "I was concerned it may have been sick or injured, and made a snap judgement to pick up the joey and see if this was the case." "I ran, not to rip the joey away from its mother, but from fear she might attack me," she added. "The snap judgement I made in these moments was never from a place of harm or stealing a joey." Jones went on to say that she looked the wombat "over quickly and immediately returned it to its mother." She added, "I ensured that the mother and joey did reunite, went off together, and that they got off the road." "I have done a great deal of reflection on this situation and have realized that I did not handle this situation as best as I should have," she wrote. "Regardless, my only intent was to prevent these amazing animals from being hit, and making sure the joey wasn`t in need of immediate care. I have learned from this situation, and am truly sorry for the distress I have caused." She concluded her post by writing that she wants to "make it absolutely clear that this was never about social media or getting likes." "This was not staged, nor was it done for entertainment," Jones said. "In my excitement and concern. I acted too quickly and then failed to provide necessary context to viewers online." Meanwhile, Jones had a rather different change of tone in her second statement. She claimed she`s received "thousands" of death threats over the incident, and slammed the Australian government over its animal culling laws, per the BBC. "Am I a villain?" Jones began. "Things, dear reader, are not as they seem. Over holding a wombat, thousands threate

There is lots of bad news from the forests recently, from both the natural environment and the “cultural environment” (“environment” being those things around us that we cannot change from where we are, and must therefore learn to live with). The most in-our-face bad news came from the cultural environment, where the ad hoc “Department of Government Efficiency” posse took a political chainsaw to the U.S. Forest Service, summarily firing 3,400 employees — about a 10th of the already chronically underfunded and short-staffed Forest Service.
