  Farther down the coast ocean acidification is also affecting the Dungeness crab: https://research.noaa.gov/article/ArtMID/587/ArticleID/2581/Dungeness-crab-showing-impact-of-coastal-acidification https://research.noaa.gov/article/ArtMID/587/ArticleID/2581/... Not great.

    Man, so sad. There is no sympathy for the invertebrates or other canary-in-a-coal-mine species from the average consumer but they are extremely loud alarms sounding all around us.

    There’s little love for Douglas Firs further down the coast as they burn and die off in Oregon and Northern California, and I wonder what’s going to happen by 2080 or so, as the climate transitions to Mediterranean. Half the places that used to be productive forest turn into not-so-productive oak chaparral, and productive farmland turns into not-so-productive ranch land. The existing ranch land is already becoming desert.

      The productive farmland of today are tomorrow’s arid solar farms unfortunately.
