    Does this mean blue whales are on the way out, given the lower amount of krill in the oceans nowadays, or have they just stabilized at a lower population? I imagine human whaling practices have muddied the data, but I’m ignorant as to the extent.

      I don’t know what the projections are but seems like populations are growing/stable

      We are still in said ice age. Our human time scales have a hard time reconciling this, but we are in one of the “warmer” parts of the current ice age.

        For those wondering, it’s an ice age because both poles are ice bound. We’re working on it though.

        Imagine if industrialisation happened during a warm time, even now on the edge of an ice age we have hit all time records for heat and tripped tipping points that have been stable since the last interglacial. We’d already been screwed if we had been in a warmer period, as it is we’re just sure to be screwed without some new technology
