It’s an old invasive species story… but maybe it will take our Georgia-area friends’ minds off the heatwave and the zombie apocalypse events that heatwaves can trigger… 
Gaden helps run the commission public awareness campaign, where he takes live sea lampreys on the road. He said they make “a great parlour trick” and he’s lost count of the number of times he’s had one attached to his flesh. He said it’s a demonstration of how powerful the suction is, but since lampreys don’t feed on warm-blooded animals, they don’t drill into humans with their tongue.
Gaden said it’s impossible to pull the fish off once they latch. It shows how impossible it would be for a host fish to shake one off itself. He said it takes some effort to squeeze the sides of its mouth until the suction is broken with an audible pop.
POP! goes the lamprey.

From what we know from all other observation points on the globe, these are the highest warming rates we have observed so far.”
Holy shit…
How to kill people quickly.
Which will be completely misinterpreted. “3 meters of snow? So much for global warming!”
Tell them to come back tomorrow, or hitch a ride back from where they finally manage to swim to shore, when the 3m of snow has melted overnight…
EU hypocrisy as a ‘climate champion’ exposed at Bonn climate conference

I am today neck deep in more metaphors than a sane person can stand.
Perhaps today sanity is overrated.
