Sea level will rise fast even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C
Satellite data shows the ice sheets are melting faster than expected and slowing sea level rise to a manageable rate would require lowering the global temperature

Conventional "non-nuclear" world war will cannibalize current rates. Once the war is over "nuclear summer" from an aerosol-loss perspective will finish whats left with unprecedented warming.
BAU will be no more ... nor will we.
What are microplastics doing to your brain? We’re starting to find out
The average human brain contains around 7 grams of plastic, but it’s unclear how this affects us. Now animal studies are revealing links to poor cognition

Auroras over Northern Canada
Gusting solar winds and blasts of charged particles from the Sun resulted in several rewarding nights of auroras back in December 2014, near the peak of the last 11-year solar cycle.
