From the New York Times:  The EPA has announced new rules that will limit the agency's ability to rely on scientific research when writing public health rules.

A paper published in the journal Nature Communications indicates that the threat from rising seas is greater than previously assessed.  "The new research shows that some 150 million people are now living on land that will be below the high-tide line by midcentury."

Washington Post story about unprecedented oceanic changes.

“We’re really playing catch-up,” said marine scientist Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Canada. “Everything we base our civilization on is based on the accumulated experience from the last 7,000 years, about how the world works, and how we can survive in this world that had an exceptionally stable climate.

“And we’re shifting away from that equilibrium at breakneck speed now. We’re living in a no-analog world that none of us has any experience with.”
