In Two New Studies, Scientists See Signs of Fundamental Climate Shifts in Antarctica – Inside Climate News
![The Pine Island Glacier spawned an iceberg over 300 sq km that very quickly shattered into pieces, on February 11, 2020. The Pine Island Glacier, along with its neighbour Thwaites glacier, connect the centre of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet with the ocean, and together discharge significant quantities of ice into the ocean (image captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, courtesy of the European Space Agency CC BY-SA 2.0 DEED via Flickr).](https://coastalcare.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/49525854597_8b44fc9632_k-798x636.jpg)
A steep decline of Antarctic sea ice may mark a long-term transformation in the Southern Ocean, and seawater intrusions beneath the Thwaites Glacier could explain its melting outpacing projections…

Michael Hiltzik : Exxon Mobil is suing its shareholders to silence them about global warming – the Los Angeles Times

You wouldn’t think that Exxon Mobil has to worry much about being harried by a couple of shareholder groups owning a few thousand dollars worth of shares between them — not with its $529-billion market value and its stature as the world’s biggest oil company. But then you might not have factored in the company’s stature as the world’s biggest corporate bully…
Denial and Deception – Gary Griggs

Earth’s temperature continues to climb to uncharted levels. Two weeks ago, NOAA announced that April was the 11th month in a row that set a new record for the highest monthly temperatures. While there are many enviable records, in sports for example, when it comes to global temperatures, this is not a record anyone wants to own. While 2023 was the hottest year on record since we began tracking temperatures nearly 150 years ago, there is a high probability based on the first four months of this year that 2024 will surpass 2023. Another statistic in which we cannot rejoice…
