Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I hope no other country shows up

Overheard

I absolutely would love to listen in. It’s so easy to fall into “seeing is believing” and I think we can all practice thinking critically more often

This is the reality for so many of my clients because of the “get trained quick” language. All this to say, if you’ve found yourself working with someone who prioritizes dominance and force… you are not alone.

So now I’m called with a veterinary behaviorist, we have some great conversations about the fallout of using punitive methods and dog social skills 101, but only time will tell if this dog can stay with this family.

The client paid a lot of money to send 1 dog to a board and train for 3 weeks. The dog came back last week skinny, sores on the paws, elbows, and a skin condition. The dog learned some things but all behavior is dependent on a shock/e-collar (US based).

Thinking about a dog training client I met today. This isn’t unique, and I wish it wasn’t common.

The client called about wanting to integrate three dogs in the household. There’s already been 3 fights within 2 weeks, with large bites.
