Hugo Tagholm, executive director of Oceana UK, said the science confirmed that North Sea cod was in “grave danger of collapse”, which he said the charity had warned about in a 2023 health-check of fish stocks.

He said: “Our warnings about multiple populations at risk were ignored, and since then we have had to watch helplessly as the UK Government sold out our seas and communities, allowing fishing pressure to build relentlessly as the largest industrial vessels squeezed out the small local boats.

“Coastal livelihoods are dependent on making the right choices now, and supporting fishers through that process.

“No-one wins if we continue to empty our seas, stock after stock will follow cod, and once collapsed these populations could take decades to recover.”


Jonny Hughes, conservation charity Blue Marine’s senior UK marine policy manager, said the scientific assessment from Ices showed that cod in the North Sea and the west of Scotland had joined populations in the Irish Sea and Celtic Sea as having collapsed.

He added: “The scientific assessments published today show that cod in the North Sea and to the west of Scotland join the populations in the Irish Sea and the Celtic Sea as having collapsed.”

He said that to receive zero catch advice a fish stock had to be in an “abysmal” state, but it was the second stock after haddock in the Celtic Sea “joining the ranks of collapsed stocks” this year.

“This is a direct result of decisions in previous years to prioritise short-term economic profit for a handful of largely wealthy fishing companies, at the expense of the environment and the long-term future of fishing communities.

This collapse was not unforeseen – in fact, it was predictable and inevitable.

Remarkably close to my own estimate

They are acknowledging the elephant

In a more extreme case (90th percentile), the average temperature could be 2.8 C higher than preindustrial levels by that time.

10% chance of 2.8c doomjak Honestly they might be more doomer then I am.

I'm sorry but a child reaching freshmen year with their documentation that shows they are developmentally at a third grade level for reading and writing is unteachable. I know that may be a crazy opinion but I've never seen it this bad till this year.

Half a co-taught class developmentally 6 years behind where they should be. My co-teacher is losing their mind. I'm losing my mind. We're doing stories that are 3 pages long and they forget what was 1 paragraph before. They don't know how to operate a google document. Many have lost their homework sheets in their folder less book bags.

I don't even really know the other half of my class since I have no time to talk to the students who are demonstrating the basic ability to follow a 2 step direction since I'm busy putting the fire extinguisher to other half who seemingly have never been told to do anything their entire life.

I cannot scaffold things any lower without it literally being a third grade level class. One child literally had documentation showing they don't understand that stories begin and end.

Our biggest challenge of the year so far was writing a singular scaffolded paragraph with sentence starters based off a short story. Multiple paragraphs contained characters that simply did not exist in the story.

I'm losing my brain

I'm in one of the better US states and even now I can't see any institution would stand up for marginalized folks as things get worse. I want out but my job is one that needs licensing for and it's so hard to read legal shit to tell if I would have any sort of reciprocity. I know some folks in other places who have offered marriage to get me out but if I can't support myself how could I even stay. If shit was like it was in a game I could just sell my shitty place and have a little bit of money to buy me time. I hate having to live through these times I hate that I think the only thing I can do is hope I fall through the cracks and get by unnoticed. It feels like there's no hope of anything getting better in my lifetime.

I hate the idea of leaving behind everyone I know and leaving the couple folks who rely on me for shelter to fend for themselves and it's so hard to reconcile with not wanting to be tortured for things I can't help about myself.

There are only a handful of medical terms that give me a sense of heart-stopping cosmic horror. "Infection Status- Prion Disease Under Investigation" is one of those things I'd hate to see on a ward.

One by one, the town’s howler monkeys, overcome with dehydration and exhaustion, were falling from the trees like apples, their limp bodies smacking the ground as temperatures sizzled past 43C (110F) in spring last year.


But for those in the tropics, the findings were sobering: extreme heat had slashed tropical bird populations by 25% to 38% over the past 70 years. Tropical songbirds, they found, were hit hardest.

The losses in the tropics have been so profound, in part, because species there are already living near their limit of heat tolerance, Kotz says. At the same time, birds in tropical regions are experiencing dangerously hot days about 10 times more often than they did in the past.

Every year, the world makes more than 400 million tons of new plastic, and that could grow by about 70% by 2040 without policy changes. About 100 countries want to limit production.

The final decision, or lack there of, underscored the influence of the United States and other oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, which opposed any limit on the productions of plastics, made mostly from fuels like oil and gas.

Not that anyone should have expected anything different, but we can't even get a future limit on the amount of plastic produced

Just thinking today based on the recent news of well, the past 6-months, that we're headed in a pretty dire direction. We're not even one year into Trump and things have already accelerated to the point we are at today. The only silver lining I see here is that the usa has fucked off from abusing the global south and China has stepped in to steer the non-fascism aligned world in a good direction. Great, but I have a sinking feeling for the rest of us poor stuck in this shithole.

More than 470 fires across the country are currently classified as “out of control”, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC).

7,318,421 hectares of land in Canada have burned due to wildfires this year – close to 78% more than the five-year average of 4,114,516 hectares, according to the CIFFC’s latest data.

The 2025 fire season is only behind the explosive 2023 wildfire season, which resulted in an astounding 17,203,625 hectares burned.


Tens of thousands of people in communities across the country have been evacuated due to the wildfires. In Saskatchewan, the Canadian Red Cross reported it had assisted more than 17,000 people in the province from over 6,700 households to evacuate.

These forests are just going to burn until there's nothing left
