Fifty years after "Jaws" vilified sharks, real-world overfishing, climate change and misunderstanding — not cinematic horror — now threaten their survival, though conservation efforts offer hope for their recovery. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/22/world/movie-jaws-demonized-sharks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #jaws #sharks #conservation #climatechange #endangered

Could the global average sea level rise three feet by 2100? It’s looking more likely. @insideclimatenews has the details:

The #Fediverse is amazing, less than 24 hours after I posted this and @peertube is only €223 from the penultimate target with 30 hours to go.

Not taking any credit for that, but happy to see a chord has been struck for all genuine surveillance-capital-free social media. Even more important in the time of #NoKings.

Looks like I'm going to be busy making #Science videos on #ClimateChange in the #Polar Regions too for the next few weeks.

Here's one I made earlier on #SurfaceMass Budget. Let me know if there's something #Climate and/or #ice related you'd like to see a short clip about and I'll see what we can do

Ruth_Mottram - One last push:
The @peertube  app campaign is just €7000 away from it's €55,000 target, and 2 days to go. Surely there are #fedizens who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and #Antarctic research over the coming weeks...

Go!

Ruth_Mottram - Apropos @peertube the french developer collective @Framasoft are currently trying to raise the (for #bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?
