canopic jug writes:Several sites are reporting on the European Court of Human Rights' decision that failure to cut greenhouse gas emissions is a violation of our basic human rights. Specifically holding global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, in line with the goals of the Paris climate agreement, is a necessary step in preventing the serious, adverse effects on their lives, health, well-being, and quality of life which come with the direction climate change has been moving.

liar writes:https://www.rawstory.com/jellyfish-invade-venezuelan-waters-worrying-fishermen/The invasive cannonball jellyfish is filling fishermen's nets, in a surge the environment ministry attributes to warming waters from climate change and a decline in jellyfish predators such as sharks and sea turtles.At the same time, "sardines and other species that serve as fishing bait have disappeared. Fishing is at its lowest level in years," said Gustavo Carrasquel, of the NGO Azul Ambientalistas, who lives in Choroni, a town neighboring Chuao.[...] Globally, jellyfish populations have soared. Researchers have warned of a tipping point in which the oceans could go from being dominated by fish populations, to jellyfish -- mostly as a result of overfishing.[...] In Chuao, fishermen who would bring in between 3,000 and 5,000 kilograms a week have seen their yields drop to between 500 and 1,000 kilograms, said Douglas Martinez, 44, a fisherman.Mayora said that Venezuela should draw inspiration from countries such as Mexico, which exploits jellyfish commercially, exporting it to Asian countries where it is used in gastronomy or the pharmaceutical industry.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
