Half a degree can make a difference for hundreds of millions living in poverty. Fighting #climatechange isn’t a fight to save animals and trees. It’s a fight for human lives. #ipcc #jointhefight theguardian.com/environment/…

A rare treat for today’s #DiscoverOceanography group. We unexpectedly caught a #Seahorse. Now happily back in the water.

As the last session of #ECRS2017 wraps up, @cathquick says: No one technology will ever give a perfect picture, important to use others in conjunction. I think this lesson applies beyond coral reef metabolomics!

All positive actions, but this video makes it sound like we can actually save #OurBluePlanet without tackling the most uncomfortable issue: #climate #change. Reusable cups won't stop #coral #bleaching - eating less meet and having fewer children might. xitter.gq/BBCEarth/status/939948…
