I will be doing a facebook live with my good friend Professor Ian Hale. If you would like to hear from the main man comnent below.

Welcome to the latest gussied up version of Malthusian eco-pessimism!

With Cape Town in the news, it’s important to understand many other major cities around the world are also at risk.

Groundbreaking lidar scanning reveals the true scale of Angamuco, built by the Purépecha from about 900AD.

Here’s how to see it.

YELLOWSTONE is “under strain” according to a group of seismologists who are monitoring the potentially catastrophic volcano, prompting fears an eruption is imminent.

And this month, a team of scientists will venture to the long-ice-buried expanse to investigate the mysterious ecosystem that was hidden beneath the Antarctic ice shelf for so long.

The newly exposed seabed stretches across an area of about 2,246 square miles (5,818 square kilometers), according to the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), which is leading the expedition. The scientists consider their journey “urgent,” as they hope to document the system before sunlight begins to change at least the surface layers.

“The calving of [iceberg] A-68 [from the Larsen C Ice Shelf] provides us with a unique opportunity to study marine life as it responds to a dramatic environmental change. It’s important we get there quickly before the undersea environment changes as sunlight enters the water and new species begin to colonize,” Katrin Linse, of the British Antarctic Survey, said in a statement.
