Exclusive: Dozens of climate projects in Antarctica are set to be cut due to a budget crunch. They include studies of sea ice - which is at a record low - and melting ice shelves. No scientists will observe penguin populations that are in rapid decline. theguardian.com/world/2023/a…

Going to work shouldn't be such an ordeal. Horrifying & heart-breaking to hear how widespread and sustained the harm has been. Well past time for deep change & accountability. Solidarity with all the staff and their families & loved ones
