A three-year effort to reorder the IWC (read the talking points from a recent working session) would create a South Atlantic Sanctuary and beef up conservation efforts to help the world's biggest mammals cope with oceanic pollution, ship strikes, climate change, and sonic disruption.
The need for detailed comparative baselines, linked to archived and identified specimens in museum repositories, is indicated by the effects of accelerating climate change and environmental disruption which are influencing the distributions of cervids and other ungulates as hosts, their parasites, and patterns of disease [ 27].
Scientists at the Met Office Hadley Centre in Exeter say climate change could bring greater disruption to the planet's water cycle than previously thought.
Even the ectotherms that manage to survive climate change will face huge disruption, with many species forced to relocate to cooler places or significantly change their behaviour, according to Dr Alex Gunderson, one of the report's authors.
The threats it identifies – terrorism, nuclear proliferation, economic disruptions, climate change, cyber security, international crime and disease pandemics – are certainly shared by everyone.
And unlike a dog, community ties will play an essential role in helping people get through the disruptions climate change will bring.
