Climate Letter #777

About the world’s vanishing wildlife.  If you missed the story in yesterday’s letter here is another rendition, this from the Washington Post with some worthwhile added embellishment.  Everyone should know about this matter and think about what it means.  The stated decline is happening in much less than one human lifetime, and shows no signs of slowing down.  This is no less important or urgent than climate change as an issue to be dealt with, and the two are closely related, but wildlife gets much less attention.  In both situations prevention of a final catastrophic crash is likely to require major near-term changes in human behavior.

An interesting story about the extraordinary growth in the population of cities around the world.  It is noted that many of these cities are located on coastlines that are most subject to the coming rise in sea level.  It is also true that the “heat island effect” tends to raise all city temperatures well above those of surrounding countrysides.
