the UN International Seabed Authority is getting ready to rule on initial regulations for opening up parts of the deep ocean to mineral extraction (namely, polymetallic nodules)

Fat chance

a 6 foot doomsday fish (giant Oarfish rarely seen in the shallows) was spotted off Taiwan. Said to be a messenger from the sea gods palace and a harbinger of natural disasters.

home insurance in the US up 20% on average since 2015

We should definitely dump all the ice in Greenland into the Florida Keys. That'll help.
