   That work goes nicely with Mike Chartock's seminal research 1972 on
   Eniwetak, in which he showed that lagoon infauna were nourished by the
   poop from herds of grazing fishes that came in on the tide like
   lawnmowers eating the algae and then hanging out in the lagoon. I'm
   sure all the -listers know this work...it was, afaik, the first
   demonstration of largescale energy transfer in reef systems.

   The toxic effects of air pollution are so bad that moving from fossil
   fuels
   to clean energy would pay for itself in health-care savings and
   productivity gains

   even if climate change didn't exist.  In the US alone, decarbonization
   would save 1.4 MILLION lives in the US alone.  And save $700 Billion a
   year.
