Northwest Passage : Someone mentioned website listing
So I looked at the PDF fileNortwest Territories state_of_environment_highlights_2016.pdf
strange that a 2016 report only mentions 30 passages in 2012 but does not list later years
Searching for further NordReg lists yields nothing

So Paul H has a page
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/a-list-of-the-full-transits-of-the-northwest-passage/
where a link in the comments leads to
http://www.americanpolar.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/NWP-2015.pdf
giving a list until 2015-16

2014-15 seems 12
2015-16 seems 13 +1
......................................................

Crossing above Russia has another list the Northern Sea Route.

" the official record of transits through the North West Passage is kept at the Scott Polar Research Institute."

opening up the individual pdfs leads to
2015 - 18
2016 -19
about a third mention I/b assistance (icebreaker)
but the class of ships hull shows some are icebreaker class themselves

Makes the cardinal sin of reporting a paper early before it's been fully verified
and then when it's retracted ..can't get round to adding a retraction note to its original story.

Winchester claims to have reduced
Winchester carbon emissions fell 2005-2015 - just. Latest report to Low Carbon Board

Let's think
Increases
- population would have gone up ..more people buying more stuff
- Biocrops up, but they kid themselves this a zero net
- more flights
- more stuff from abroad
- decrease in farmland
Decreases
- more insulation ?
- better cars, but people drive further these days
... I've got solar and wind down as an increase in short term CO2 , cos you are front loading the CO2 output into the construction stage ..and then later on you've got decommisioning CO2

Andrew Sullivan says Donald Trump is teaching a generation that the key to advancement in society is to bully, lie, slander and cheat.
.. "his appalling conduct will mark a cautionary tale - and future candidates and presidents will learn not to follow in his steps".

Claim "8m tonnes if plastic reach the oceans each year"
Elsewhere a claim "There's /will be more plastic than fish in the ocean"

Wikipedia gives the total biomass of just fish (not including krill/plankton etc) as 800-2,000m tonnes"
ie with no degradation it would take 100 to 250 years for plastic to outweigh fish.
