Climate change poses threat to ‘tuna dependent’ Pacific Islands economies

Shifting distributions of key tuna species could have serious economic impacts for island nations in the Western and Central Pacific, according to a new paper coauthored by Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Katherine Seto.
Melissa Ruiz's insight:
Shifting distribution of tuna leaving sovereign waters can possibly create circumstances resulting in overfishing . This in turn becomes a climate justice issue, as tuna dependent economies who produce negligible  amounts of green house gas emissions lose revenue because of warming temperatures, wealthier countries who normally fish in these waters and produce high amounts of green house gas emissions will reap the benefits.

A new study, published in the scientific journal Nature, suggests a lesser-known greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide, is being emitted into the atmosphere at an increasing rate.

Natasha Booth's insight:
This video summarizes how farms are using nitrous oxide, which is another greenhouse gas that is rarely talked about, is having a bigger effect on climate change than we originally thought.

It always blows my mind how many things can contribute to climate change. For example farms using nitrous oxide which is a green house gas is a contributor to this problem.
Ray Daugherty's curator insight, March 28, 2022 11:27 PM

This video is showing that this specific farming technique is accelerating climate change. This should put all farmers on high alert and force them to find another way of farming that won't accelerate climate change or even better, help slow down climate change.
