Natural History Museum of London's Wildlife Photographer of the Year award is Nima Sarikhani for this beautiful image of a sleeping young polar bear. Congratulations!

The polar bear world has been irrevocably endagered due to climate change making this image as poignant as it is sweet.

Climate change has sharply increased the number of days where Arctic sea ice is too thin for polar bears to hunt seals. That forces them to spend longer stretches ashore without their main food source. Using models, researchers considered how future rises in global temperatures could hit ice thickness in Hudson Bay and in turn, the fate of its iconic and endangered polar bears. They found that if temperatures rose 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels the resulting ice-free period would simply be too long for many bears to survive. Bear populations in southern Hudson Bay—where it takes longer for winter ice to return—would be the first to go, said the study's lead author Julienne Stroeve.

In Dr. Douglas Gurr's words, "This breathtaking and poignant image allows us to see the beauty and fragility of our planet. His thought-provoking image is a stark reminder of the integral bond between an animal and its habitat and serves as a visual representation of the detrimental impacts of climate warming and habitat loss."

This photo is heartbreakingly beautiful. No wonder the ‘Ice Bed’ by Nima Sarikhani won the 'Wildlife Photographer of the Year ' Award.

Over the past few days, extremely cold Arctic air and severe winter weather have swept southward into much of the U.S., breaking daily low-temperature records from Montana to Texas. Tens of millions of people have been affected by dangerously cold temperatures, and heavy lake-effect snow and snow squalls have had severe effects across the Great Lakes and Northeast regions. These severe cold events occur when the polar jet stream—the familiar jet stream of winter that runs along the boundary between the Arctic and more temperate air—dips deeply southward, bringing the cold Arctic air to regions that don't often experience it.

The Willow Project has been approved by Biden but there are plans to oppose the action in court. It's our final hope and signing the petition is a way you can help. The Petition is free to sign all it takes is; your name, country and email. There is an option to donate but it is not mandatory to allow you to sign.

Please sign! The goal is to reach 4.5m+ signatures and it is currently at 3.3m

The Earth needs us. This Project will be the end of our planet.

"Polarization" has become a weasel word for bad actors to stop legitimate criticism. The fact that we're seeing it used by an oil CEO to deny climate science should set off alarm bells.

It is RealFeel 13 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I have the bedroom balcony door open to get a cross breeze going and my migraine is gone and I feel like a living breathing human person for the first time in days. I need to live on Svalbard or something
