<i>[ Newsweek reports -- over heated seas generate algae with domoic
acid,</i><i> poisoned seals attack humans]</i><br>
<b>Hyperaggressive Seals Likely Poisoned With Acid Are Attacking
Humans</b><br>
BY JESS THOMSON ON 1/17/23 <br>
A spate of attacks by seals around Cape Town in South Africa may be
due to the marine mammals having been poisoned by domoic acid.<br>
<br>
The domoic acid, a toxin released during a red tide algal bloom, may
have made its way into the seal's system if they fed in the bloom's
vicinity and caused swelling in their brains and hearts, leading to
increased aggression, Brett Glasby, wildlife management program
coordinator at Two Oceans Aquarium, told local outlet News24.<br>
"Domoic acid is produced by the phytoplankton genus Pseudonitzschia,
a type of diatom," Pete Strutton, a biological oceanographer at the
University of Tasmania, told Newsweek. "Diatoms are a group of
plankton (more specifically a type of phytoplankton, the
photosynthetic plankton). They are common in very productive parts
of the ocean, like coastal upwelling regions. Cape Town is close to
the large Benguela upwelling system. California and Peru are other
prominent examples of upwelling systems where the phytoplankton are
dominated by diatoms."<br>
<br>
Under certain conditions, Pseudonitzschia produces domoic acid, but
they don't produce it all the time. Scientists aren't sure why.<br>
Glasby said that usually when seals are poisoned by domoic acid,
they will die, with survivors experiencing long-term neurological
damage. He suggested that a mass-death event of Cape fur seals
occurred due to domoic acid poisoning in late 2021 in the Cape Town
area.<br>
<br>
"We also know from similar events that have been documented in
California and New Zealand that for roughly 18 months after the
event, some seals will exhibit unusual behaviors, predominantly
excessively aggressive defensiveness," Glasby said. "This means that
their response to stress or a possible stress is to respond
aggressively."<br>
<br>
One of the attacks occurred on January 3, when actress LouLou
Taylor, who recently played in the series Raised by Wolves, was
bitten six times by a seal on Clifton's 4th Beach in Cape Town.
Other incidents occurred around the same time in Hout Bay and
Yzerfontein, the South African National Sea Rescue Institute stated.<br>

To gain a better understanding of symptoms experienced by California
sea lions caused by the toxin domoic acid, we are studying the
relationship between aggression and seizure behavior in laboratory
rats exposed to domoic acid. Our results have shown increased
aggression can be a symptom of domoic acid poisoning whether or not
seizures are occurring, but the aggression is not permanent. Our
ongoing work will provide a scientific basis for choosing the best
possible rehabilitative measures.<br>

Increasing numbers of California sea lions are becoming sick each
year from ingesting domoic acid, a neurotoxin that accumulates in
the fish and shellfish they consume. Domoic acid is produced by the
algae Pseudo-nitzchia and causes vomiting, unusual behaviors,
seizures, loss of pregnancy, and death in the sea lions and other
organisms. The increase in sea lion cases may be indicative of an
increasing threat to other marine species...<br>

<i>[ Wikipedia entry for Domoic Acid]<br>
</i><b>Domoic acid </b>(DA) is a kainic acid-type neurotoxin that
causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP).[1] It is produced by algae
and accumulates in shellfish, sardines, and anchovies. When sea
lions, otters, cetaceans, humans, and other predators eat
contaminated animals, poisoning may result. Exposure to this
compound affects the brain, causing seizures, and possibly death...<br>

Fernandes)<br>
<br>
Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP), also called domoic-acid
poisoning,can be a life-threatening syndrome that is characterized
by both gastrointestinal and neurological disorders. Gastroenteritis
usually develops within 24 hours of the consumption of toxic
shellfish; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and
diarrhea. In severe cases, neurological symptoms also appear,
usually within 48 hours of toxic shellfish consumption. These
symptoms include dizziness, headache, seizures, disorientation,
short-term memory loss, respiratory difficulty, and coma. In 1987,
four victims died after consuming toxic mussels from Prince Edward
Island, Canada. After that incident, Canadian authorities began
monitoring the water column for the presence of the causative diatom
and shellfish for the presence of the toxin, domoic acid. Shellfish
beds are closed to harvesting when the domoic acid concentration
reaches 20 µg/g shellfish meat. However, since fish and crab viscera
can also contain domoic acid, the risk to human consumers and
animals in the marine food chain is more significant than previously
believed.<br>
<br>
The first confirmed incidence of domoic-acid poisoning was confirmed
on the U.S. west coast in spring 1991, when sea lions and sea birds
were sickened after eating toxin-laden anchovies. Later that year,
domoic acid was also measured in razor clams collected on Washington
State beaches. Since then, the death or stranding of other marine
animals, including whales, has been suspected or confirmed to be due
to domoic acid poisoning. The sinking of decaying blooms into the
benthic region and transfer of toxin to vector organisms such as
sand crab is another way that animals such as sea otters can become
sickened or die due to domoic acid poisoning. Animals poisoned by
domoic acid include seabirds and marine mammals, including sea
lions, sea otters, whales.<br>

<b>Warning of unprecedented heatwaves as El Niño set to return in
2023</b><br>
Scientists say phenomenon coupled with growing climate crisis likely
to push global temperatures ‘off the chart’<br>
Damian Carrington Environment editor<br>
Mon 16 Jan 2023<br>
The return of the El Niño climate phenomenon later this year will
cause global temperatures to rise “off the chart” and deliver
unprecedented heatwaves, scientists have warned.<br>
<br>
Early forecasts suggest El Niño will return later in 2023,
exacerbating extreme weather around the globe and making it “very
likely” the world will exceed 1.5C of warming. The hottest year in
recorded history, 2016, was driven by a major El Niño.<br>
<br>
It is part of a natural oscillation driven by ocean temperatures and
winds in the Pacific, which switches between El Niño, its cooler
counterpart La Niña, and neutral conditions. The last three years
have seen an unusual run of consecutive La Niña events.<br>
<br>
This year is already forecast to be hotter than 2022, which global
datasets rank as the fifth or sixth hottest year on record. But El
Niño occurs during the northern hemisphere winter and its heating
effect takes months to be felt, meaning 2024 is much more likely to
set a new global temperature record...<br>
The greenhouse gases emitted by human activities have driven up
average global temperature by about 1.2C to date. This has already
led to catastrophic impacts around the world, from searing heatwaves
in the US and Europe to devastating floods in Pakistan and Nigeria,
harming millions of people.<br>
<br>
“It’s very likely that the next big El Niño could take us over
1.5C,” said Prof Adam Scaife, the head of long-range prediction at
the UK Met Office. “The probability of having the first year at 1.5C
in the next five-year period is now about 50:50.”<br>
“We know that under climate change, the impacts of El Niño events
are going to get stronger, and you have to add that to the effects
of climate change itself, which is growing all the time,” he said.
“You put those two things together, and we are likely to see
unprecedented heatwaves during the next El Niño.”<br>
<br>
The fluctuating impacts of the El Niño-La Niña cycle could be seen
in many regions of the world, Scaife said. “Science can now tell us
when these things are coming months ahead. So we really do need to
use it and be more prepared, from having readiness of emergency
services right down to what crops to plant.”<br>
<br>
Prof James Hansen, at Columbia University, in New York, and
colleagues said recently: “We suggest that 2024 is likely to be off
the chart as the warmest year on record. It is unlikely that the
current La Niña will continue a fourth year. Even a little futz of
an El Niño should be sufficient for record global temperature.”
Declining air pollution in China, which blocks the sun, was also
increasing heating, he said.<br>
While El Niño would supercharge extreme weather, the degree of
exacerbation was under debate among scientists.<br>
<br>
Prof Bill McGuire, at University College London, UK, said: “When [El
Niño arrives], the extreme weather that has rampaged across our
planet in 2021 and 2022 will pale into insignificance.” While Prof
Tim Palmer, at the University of Oxford, said: “The correlation
between extreme weather and global mean temperature is not that
strong [but] the thermodynamic effects of climate change are going
to make the anomalies we get from an El Niño year just that more
extreme.”<br>
<br>
Climate modelling results issued in early January by Australia’s
Bureau of Meteorology indicated the country could swing from three
years of above-average rainfall to one of the hottest, driest El
Niño periods on record, increasing the risk of severe heatwaves,
droughts and fires. In December, the US National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration rated the odds of an El Niño forming by
August-October as 66%.<br>
<br>
The scale of the likely El Niño was as yet unclear. Prof Andy
Turner, at the University of Reading, said: “Many seasonal forecast
models are suggesting the arrival of moderate El Niño conditions
from summer 2023.” The picture would be much clearer by June, the
scientists said.<br>
<br>
The El Niño-La Niña phenomenon is the biggest cause of year-to-year
differences in weather in many regions. In La Niña years, the
east-to-west Pacific trade winds are stronger, pushing warm surface
waters to the west and drawing up deeper, cooler water in the east.
El Niño events happen when the trade winds wane, allowing the warm
waters to spread back eastwards, smothering the cooler waters and
leading to a rise in global temperatures.<br>
<br>
Nations bordering the west Pacific, including Indonesia and
Australia, experience hotter and drier conditions. “You tend to get
lots of droughts, lots of wildfires,” said Scaife, though China can
suffer flooding in the Yangtze basin after big El Niños.<br>
<br>
India’s monsoons, and rains in southern Africa can also be
suppressed. Other regions, such as east Africa and the southern US,
both of which have suffered recent droughts, can get more rain and
flooding. In South America, southern regions are wetter, but the
Amazon, already approaching a dangerous tipping point, is drier.<br>
<br>
“The effects of El Niño could also be felt as far as the northern
hemisphere mid-latitudes, with a likelihood of wetter conditions in
Spain from summer onwards and drier conditions on the eastern
seaboard of the US in the following winter and spring,” said Turner.<br>
<br>
Palmer said the biggest unanswered question was whether climate
change favoured more El Niño or more La Niña events: “That is
crucially important for countries looking at long-term adaptation,
and will need much higher-resolution climate models. That can only
come about with bigger computers.”<br>
<br>
Palmer and colleagues have called for the establishment of a $1bn
international centre for climate modelling, akin to the Large Hadron
Collider that allows international particle physicists to do
together what no single nation can do alone.<br>

<b>MIT Sloan book says we need to do a lot more to prevent and
prepare for climate catastrophes</b><b><br>
</b>January 17, 2023 <br>
Climate Future: Averting and Adapting to Climate Change, by MIT
Sloan economist Robert S. Pindyck explains what we know and don't
know about climate change, and what we can do to prepare for a
possible climate catastrophe.<br>
<br>
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new book by an
economist at MIT Sloan School of Management argues that despite
efforts to reduce emissions worldwide, severe climate change is
likely inevitable in the not-too-distant future and we must invest
now in strategies and technologies to help us adapt to rising
temperatures and sea levels.<br>
"Given the economic and political realities, it's simply not
realistic to expect emission reductions alone will avert global
warming," says author Robert S. Pindyck, the Bank of
Tokyo-Mitsubishi Professor of Economics and Finance. He says
federal, state, and local governments need to invest in adaptations
to counter current and future fallout from climate change.<br>
<br>
Exactly how much will temperatures and sea levels rise, and how will
this impact our economic and social welfare? Pindyck says it's
impossible to know. "The extent of climate change and its impact on
the economy and society are much more uncertain than most people
think," he writes.<br>
<br>
In Climate Future: Averting and Adapting to Climate Change, Pindyck
argues that despite our best efforts, there's "a strong likelihood"
global mean temperature over the next 50 years will increase 3
degrees Celsius or more due to the rapid growth of emissions from
China, India, and other developing countries.<br>
<br>
These increased emissions, Pindyck notes, have "completely swamped"
the relatively small emission reductions achieved in the U.S. and
Europe. Even if worldwide emissions went to zero today, atmospheric
CO2 concentrations would remain above 400 ppm for decades to come
because of the two-decade or more lag between an increase in
atmospheric CO2 and the related effect on temperature.<br>
<br>
This means that in addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we
need to develop new hybrid crops, adopt policies to discourage
building in flood-prone or wildfire-prone areas, build seawalls and
dikes–among other approaches–to counter the effects of rising sea
levels, extended drought, and more intense and frequent storms.<br>
<br>
Throughout history, migrating populations have successfully adapted
to changing conditions through human innovation. The Netherlands'
earliest dikes, for example, were built more than 800 years ago.
Pindyck, who has studied the economic and policy implications of
global catastrophic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, says we
need to work now to avoid the worst effects of climate change. <br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Among his recommendations:</b><br>
<blockquote>- - Stop government insurance programs that subsidize
the construction of homes and businesses in flood-prone and
wildfire-prone areas<br>
- - Change building codes to reduce vulnerability to flooding<br>
- - Build more levees and seawalls, which already protect around
15 percent of the U.S. coastline from erosion, rising sea levels,
and the effects of hurricanes<br>
- - Pursue solar geoengineering, which aims to reflect solar
energy back into space to cool the planet<br>
- - Protect and enhance natural barriers to flooding such as
coastal wetlands, dunes, coral reefs, and maritime vegetation<br>
- - Develop new heat- and drought-resistant crops<br>
- - Plant more trees and continue to pursue carbon sequestration
technologies<br>
- - Pursue nuclear energy as well as renewables<br>
</blockquote>
Pindyck argues that while the U.S. and Europe may meet CO2 emission
targets, China, India, Indonesia, and Russia most likely will not,
and may not even set targets. "Even the most optimistic projections
of CO2 emission reductions imply a substantial buildup of CO2 in the
atmosphere, and as a result a gradual increase in temperatures
worldwide," he says.<br>
<br>
"Maybe the impact of higher temperatures and rising sea levels on
GDP and other measures of human welfare over the coming decades will
be small," he writes. "Or maybe we'll be very unlucky, and the
impact will be extreme." We simply cannot know, he says, because
while predictive models convey an aura of scientific legitimacy and
precision, climate systems are inherently complex and beyond our
current ability to predict with a high level of accuracy, he says.<br>
<br>
This level of uncertainty can make public policy decision-making
confounding. Because today's climate policy decisions have both
short-term costs and long-term economic implications, it would be
wrong to take a "wait-and-see" approach. Pindyck, whose research
spans microeconomics and industrial organization, natural resource,
and commodity markets, considers it "irresponsible to make believe"
that relying on GHG emission reductions alone will avert a climate
catastrophe.<br>

<b>Climate Future</b><br>
Averting and Adapting to Climate Change<br>
Robert S. Pindyck<br>
Description<br>
Most people would probably agree on what should be done to avert
severe climate change: The world must reduce CO2 emissions as much
and as quickly as possible. But we must also ask what will be done.
Is it realistic to expect worldwide emissions to fall rapidly enough
to prevent severe climate change? And if we conclude it is not
realistic, and so higher temperatures and rising sea levels are
likely, what should we do? What actions should we take now to reduce
the likely impact of climate change?<br>
<br>
Whatever climate policies are adopted, there will be a great deal of
uncertainty over what will happen as a result. In Climate Future,
Robert Pindyck, an authority on the economics of climate change and
global catastrophes, explains what we know and what we don't know
about the extent of climate change and its impact, why there is so
much uncertainty, and what it means for climate policy. This book
shows that given the economic and political realities, it is simply
not realistic to expect emission reductions needed to avert
substantial global warming. Pindyck argues that investments in
adaptation-developing new hybrid crops, discouraging building in
flood-prone or wildfire-prone areas, building sea walls and dikes,
and geoengineering-are needed to insure against catastrophic climate
change events. We should invest now in adaptation, and Pindyck shows
how that can be done.<br>

<u>Climate Psychology: A Matter of Life and Death</u> (Phoenix
Publishing House, 2022) offers ways to work with the unthinkable and
emotionally unendurable current predicament of humanity. The style
and writing interweave passion and reflection, animation and
containment, radical hope, and tragedy to reflect the dilemmas of
our collective crisis. The authors model a relational approach in
their styles of writing and in the book's structure. Four chapters,
each with a strikingly original voice and insight, form the core of
the book, held either end by two jointly written chapters. In
contrast to a psychology that focuses on individual behavior change,
the authors use a transdisciplinary mix of approaches (depth
psychology and psychotherapy, earth systems, deep ecology, cultural
sociology, critical history, group and institutional outreach) to
bring into focus the predicament of this period. While the last
decade required a focus on climate denial in all its manifestations
(which continues in new ways), a turning point has now been reached.
Increasingly extreme weather across the world is making it
impossible for simple avoidance of the climate threat.<br>
<br>
Wendy Hollway, Paul Hoggett, Chris Robertson, and Sally Weintrobe
address how climate psychology illuminates and engages the life and
death challenges that face terrestrial life. This book will appeal
to three core groups. First, mental health and social care
professionals wanting support in containing and potentially
transforming the malaise. Second, activists wanting to participate
in new stories and practices that nurture their engagement with the
present social and cultural crisis. Third, those concerned about the
climate emergency, wanting to understand the deeper context for this
dangerous blindness.<br>
