NASA-funded Study: Half of Glaciers Vanish with 1.5 Degrees of Warming

"... with 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, 50% of the world’s glaciers would disappear and contribute 9 centimeters (3.5 inches) to sea level rise by 2100 ..."

James Reich on Existential Fiction and the Imprint of Nature

Any article that starts with E. O. Wilson, Philip K. Dick and Albert Camus...

Also, this is a little bit of a stretch to tag as solarpunk, but: "In fiction, as in reality, we dismiss nature at our peril."

Faux Salmon. Great for the environment, and great tasting?

"New School Foods’ process starts by creating a biopolymer gel. This homogeneous hydrogel is placed in contact with a freezing surface and the gel is directionally frozen, resulting in the formation of thousands of directionally aligned, microscopic ice crystals traveling away from the freezing source.

Once the gel is fully frozen, the ice is removed, leaving behind empty channels. These channels act as a scaffold; the channels are filled with proteins and other ingredients (color, flavors, fats) to form the muscle fibers."
