“It’s just yet another example of something we didn’t expect, but now we have to live with,” says Christopher Harley, a marine ecologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver

This caught me off guard as such a sad statement both for now and for whatever else climate change will decide to do.

There is no conceivable way to know the damage we are doing and yet the damage will be done and we will need to bear those consequences.
