300 MILLION YEAR "WORLD'S OLDEST OCTOPUS" TURNS OUT TO BE A COUSIN!
300 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSIL SHOWING WHAT SCIENTIST BELIEVED TO BE THE OLDEST OCTOPUS !
Excerpt: Shockwaves echoed across the scientific community, this week, when what was believed to be the world’s oldest fossil of an octopus, was actually another animal entirely.
The fossil was even featured in the Guinness Book of World Records, dubbing it with the title as the “earliest known octopus,” existing during its lifetime not far from Chicago in today’s landlocked Illinois, USA. They even described it as, “resembling a flattened cow pat or a globular splat, but it possesses eight tentacles, two eyes, and what may be an ink sac – all features characterizing octopuses of today.”

WHALE SWIMS 20 MILES IN RIVER -DEAD - FEAR FOR SPECIES : GRAY WHALE POPULATION HALF IN A DECADE
Siren here! I believe the whales are starving and humans are the reason.
I first heard this story via the Seattle Times:
BBC: Gray Whale Dies Days After Swimming River
Excerpt: The juvenile whale, affectionately dubbed "Willapa Willy" by locals, was first spotted last Wednesday in the north fork of the river, about 145 miles southwest of Seattle, the marine mammal research group said.
The whale, "although thin, was behaving normally," the group said at the time, with no sign of injuries.
Its teams had hoped the whale would find its own way out of the river but it failed to do so.

IF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN CURRENT COLLAPSES WILL ICELAND BE DOOMED?
REUTERS : ICELAND DEEMS POSSIBLE ATLANTIC CURRENT COLLAPSE
Excerpt: Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an existential threat, enabling its government to strategize for worst-case scenarios, the country's climate minister told Reuters.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, current brings warm water from the tropics northward toward the Arctic, and the flow of warm water helps keep Europe’s winters mild.
