Just saw a story on the news about snow crab season being cancelled in Alaska. The fisheries reported than in less than 2 years ONE BILLION crabs have disappeared. There are virtually no crabs to be found and no one knows where they went or what happened. The theory that will be investigated is climate change and search parties will be sent to colder waters to look for them. Sadly hundreds of fisherman will not be able to make a living. Climate done changed people.

The myths that hint at past disasters (and The First Fossil Hunters)
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
The myths that hint at past disasters, BBC Future By Mark Piesing, May 10, 2021 Yours, Paul H, -
I think this is a bait and switch article. It starts off by telling you about the Burgess shale then transitions into explaining why we are going extinct too. I didn't learn anything new from reading it though. Anyway there are pictures. Of trilobites. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/12/06/ghosts-future/?arc404=true
