First the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, now this.
Researchers found that the limestone that forms the foundation of coral reefs along the Florida Reef Tract is dissolving during the fall and winter months on many reefs in the Florida Keys. The research showed that the upper Florida Keys were the most impacted by the annual loss of reef.

“Canada is going to potentially be the world’s largest food producer in 20-25 years as a result of climate change. And then there’s water. The southwestern United States is now in a perennial drought, and yet at the same time, perversely, is the site of the fastest growing population in the United States.”

I used to want to be renamed Steve. It sounded cooler back then, probably still is, but Steves tend to die younger than Roberts. A word of warning about people named Wayne or Larry: they have a tendency towards violent crime. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201604/the-surprising-psychology-baby-naming
… and the way just the sound of a name can resonate throughout a child’s life.

It makes sense. The lens focuses light onto a tiny point on the retina, which is like focusing the suns rays with a magnifying glass. Although I admit looking at the sun a few times.

Either that or Queen Elizabeth is really a Satanist, and if so, we knew it.

At least this is one case where an area that produces climate changing products feels the direct impact of climate change. Which will they choose, jobs (and oil wealth) or more forest fires threatening homes?

From a suicidal guy who wrote a short story about a suicidal guy, he wrote something very profound and it applies to using social media: “The more time and effort you put into trying to appear impressive or attractive to other people, the less impressive or attractive you felt inside—you were a fraud. And the more of a fraud you felt like, the harder you tried to convey an impressive or likable image of yourself so that other people wouldn’t find out what a hollow, fraudulent person you really were.” https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201605/captives-the-mind

But a new brain scanning study shows that people can intentionally forget past experiences by changing how they think about the context of those memories.
