c/Collapse

SS: These next few years will likely be the hottest the human species has ever endured: the culmination of natural events like El Niño, solar activity, and recent volcanic eruptions coupled with our relentless increase in green house gas emissions will likely result in records being shattered. The author of this article calls this combination of factors “unlucky.” With recent natural disasters around the world mounting, we can agree this is an unfortunate alignment of natural factors on top od the already dire human caused climate disaster.

Submission statement: an underweight northern rockhopper penguin found near Adelaide, South Australia. These are normally found on remote islands, not on mainland Australia. Recently, emaciated Fiordland penguins have also been found in South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia, also highly unusual.

Related to collapse because climate change is causing penguins to get very lost and they are starving. These penguins use the surface water temperature and salinity levels as part of their navigation. Something is going very wrong for them to end up in the totally wrong location, when they usually follow the same migration route very year.

This is locally related to collapse for Eastern Canada. There was a very large amount of rain over a short period of time which led to flooding in several regions leading to a few deaths and washing out a critical section of railroad which connects Halifax to the rest of Canada.
