Buy a ticket in the Nenana Ice Classic and you could win nearly
$300,000. All you have to do is guess when the ice covering Tanana
River at the city of Nenana, Alaska will break up.
Brothers Josh and Judah Ridgeway live in Nenana, a community of 375
people, about an hour southwest of Fairbanks. The brothers were
hired by the Ice Classic to make regular ice measurements. They use
a gas powered drill to bore through 3 to 4 feet of ice — though it's
sometimes more. They do this at several locations on the Tanana, a
few times a week, in April.

Flash flood warnings were issued in multiple states Sunday, hours after
tornadoes, heavy storms and floods roared through the Midwest from
Missouri to Texas, leaving a trail of death and destruction.

This weekend's Climate March was a shining example of that. "An issue as

intersectional approach that marries widely different sectors together
to fix the problem," Qusba says.

When the paper hired conservative Bret Stephens, it angered one
climate scientist. Now, he's starting a movement.
Climate scientist Michael E. Mann launched the hashtag
#ShowYourCancellation this week after the paper's public editor
defended the decision to hire the former Wall Street Journal
columnist, dismissing its so-called "left-leaning critics" who they
claimed were leading a "fiery revolt."
Mann called for people to prove to the Times that they were actually
ending their subscriptions to the paper over Stephens, who published
his first column on being skeptical about the effects of climate
change on Friday.

anti-climate change agendas.

First, humans are altering marine ecosystems in many other ways than
just climate change, such as through pollution, habitat destruction,
and eutrophication (an excess of nutrients, often caused by runoff
from land).
Food webs are essentially networks of species that interact with
each other. The connection between them can stabilise systems, for
instance by preventing particular species from becoming too common,
thereby encouraging the presence of a wide range of species.
These pathways can be quite stable, but they are vulnerable to ocean
warming and acidification. Such food webs are therefore sensitive to
changing climates, through potential changes both to plant growth
(bottom-up effects) and to predator abundance and behaviour
(top-down effects).
Because of the sheer complexity of species interactions within these
food webs, we struggle to understand what future food webs might
look like and how humans will be affected through changes in the
services provided by the ocean, such as food, materials and energy.
Our food web had three levels: primary producers (algae), herbivores
(invertebrates), and predators (fish).
The results show that carbon dioxide enrichment can actually boost
food webs from the bottom up through increased algal growth. This
benefited herbivores because of the higher abundance of food, and in
turn boosted the very top of the food web, where fish grew faster.
But while this effect of ocean acidification may be seen as positive
for marine ecosystems, it mainly benefits "weedy" species – a
definition that can be applied to some species of algae,
invertebrates, and even fish.
In contrast, habitat-forming species such as kelp forests and coral
reefs are more likely to disappear with rising CO₂ emissions, and
with them many associated species that are deprived of their
habitats and food.
