Beluga in the Thames
A beluga whale has been spotted swimming in the Thames today, about 1,000 miles off its usual habitat in the Arctic; it is thought it may have got lost due to recent storms and changes in weather patterns
Ancient mosses dying in the Antarctic
The Nature Climate Change Journal has described how Antarctic mosses are severely under threat from climate change; recent research has observed how these mosses are changing from their natural green colour to red (indicating high stress) to a final grey (indicating they are dying)
Protecting the oceans
The UK will call for global leaders to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030 in a UN General Assembly this week; it wants to designate 30% of the world's oceans as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to reverse damage done by fishing, climate change, and plastic pollution
Sinkhole on Queensland beach
A landslip near Rainbow Beach in Queensland appeared on Monday morning caused by waves and undercurrents in the water; luckily, no-one was hurt unlike a similar incident that happened a few years ago where a caravan, tent and car were swallowed into the ground
