The image shows two figures, a and b. Figure a shows a map of Europe with thermal positions indicated by color-coded hexagons, ranging from -1.0 to 1.0. Arrows point to "Reduced negative impacts" and "Increased negative impacts." Figure b shows a scatter plot of effect size vs thermal position with a fish illustration on top. "Biomass change estimates" indicated by circle size.

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reports that long-term ocean warming reduces global fish biomass by up to 19.8% annually. Warmer years and marine heatwaves were linked to sharp biomass losses of up to 43.4%. go.nature.com/40b6AIB 🧪 🌍

The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding Australia is known as a country of innovators, but with a combination of brain drain, continuous cuts, and a loss of critical science projects, is Australia losing its edge?

This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise

CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP:

1982-83 = 0.17
