Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, the planet's widest and most unpredictable glacier, is melting "more aggressively" than previously projected, meaning its impacts on global sea level rise could be double current estimates. cnn.it/4dHWdTP
This was bound to happen, but I'm glad to see that "In the Whale" took the top of the marquee, just as the Hollywood version of a diver being swallowed by a whale is about to be released. Our film is now available to watch here: davidabelfilms.vhx.tv
See anything fishy here? Well, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we’ll take it. If you want to watch the true story, "In the Whale" is now available to stream at davidabelfilms.vhx.tv/

‘South Korea’s president, Lee Jae Myung, told his cabinet the extreme weather was “unlike anything we have experienced before”.
“We need to make efforts for a fundamental overhaul of the national crisis system,” he said, “since this extreme weather is becoming the new normal.”’
"Potatoes ‘boil’ in the ground as record heatwave sweeps across swathes of Asia"
This is frightening. I knew Africa had been impacted by the recent heatwaves, but I didn't realise Asia too. It makes you wonder, with these projected food shortages, where impacted countries will be buying their food from. It's a genuine climate emergency. We could see global food hyperinflation.
