Are harp seals responsible for the stalled recovery of Atlantic cod?

Since Atlantic cod fisheries collapsed in the early 1990s, ecosystems have been less productive and have struggled to recover.

My colleagues at NOAA fear for their jobs. Their satellite observation today of accumulating heat stress (already above mortality thresholds) on the northern Great Barrier Reef: Yet again a deadly mass coral bleaching event is underway. Without NOAA, climate & reef scientists will be blind.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last yr.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

While this isn’t good news, it is not a tipping point, nor does it presage a dramatic increase in climate feedbacks.

This is what I was writing about 20 years ago as a terrifying but far off prospect, a key tipping point in the climate crisis. Now it’s here. Report by my colleague @patrickgreenfield A third of Arctic’s vast carbon sink now source of emissions, study reveals www.theguardian.com/environment/...
