There's been wave after wave of bad news about the ocean: warming temperatures, overfishing, acidification, coral bleaching. But in the last few years, there have also been some big wins for the big blue—as well as a narrative shift, in which the ocean itself has almost become its own larger-than-life character in conservation conversations. So how should we think about the future of the seas? And how do the stories we tell about the ocean shape how we think about it? Flora chats with marine biologist Helen Scales, author of “What the Wild Sea Can Be,” which is the Science Friday book club pick for September and October. Check out the SciFri Book Club to read along. Read an excerpt from “What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World's Ocean.” Guest: Dr. Helen Scales is a marine biologist and author of several books, including “What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World's Ocean.” Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Glaciologist Twila Moon studies Earth's ice, the glaciers and ice sheets that have built up over millennia, but that are now disappearing much more rapidly. In this episode, Twila and Sarah talk about the visceral sensory experience of standing next to a living glacier, and what it's like to watch something that once felt permanent, something that has animated her heart and mind for decades, vanish within her lifetime. They also discuss learning to sit with climate grief, and Twila shares why taking action in the face of overwhelming ecological disaster can actually generate hope.

The Science of Global Warming: And Four Ways to Fix It by Dr David Edward Comings M.D. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1878267043 This well-illustrated and easy-to-read book emphasizes that, instead of being a hoax, climate change and global warming are very real and getting progressively worse, and without any mitigating efforts, will be a serious threat to the lives of our children and grandchildren. In addition to presenting the scientific evidence, it outlines four powerful approaches to combating global warming. One innovative approach suggests a way in which fossil fuel companies can profitably participate in the solution and a method by which individual citizens can help to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The purposes of the book are listed on the back cover and include trying to convince the Trump administration that their policy of total denial of the reality of global warming is disastrous both for the U.S. and the world.

President Trump took a swipe at the Secret Service as he claimed a military plane that secretly flew him out of Turkey last month was “at greater risk” of being targeted, while also insisting it was the Secret Service that made the call. He told reporters he only followed what agents and the military wanted, saying they had arranged an “equal safety” change.  When pressed, Trump suggested the aircraft he was put on would be more likely to be the one attackers might go after.On the election front, the progressive candidate in the Wisconsin governor's race fell to the more mainstream Democratic candidate. The My Pillow guy Mike Lindell was too crazy for Minnesota voters. Despite being endorsed by Trump, Lindell was defeated in his attempt to govern Minnesota.
