VOLUNTEER turtle monitors have been forced to take on lifesaving duties after a cold snap left hatchlings floundering helplessly on Sunshine Coast beaches.
As overnight temperatures dropped, about 50 newborn turtles from nests on Buddina and Warana beaches suffered "cold stun syndrome", which sent their tiny bodies into shock.
Turtle monitors who do night patrols during breeding season did the only thing they could - cupping the baby turtles in their hands until they warmed up enough to resume their trek to the ocean.
Sunshine Coast Turtle Watch coordinator Julie O'Connor said it was the first time she had seen the hatchlings so badly affected by cold weather.
"Cold stunned really is their hypothermia," Ms O'Connor said.
TGS to pay Deutsche Bank $5m after losing emissions credits case | Metal Bulletin
Total Global Steel (TGS), a category V member of the London Metal Exchange, has been ordered by the High Court in London to pay Deutsche Bank €4.18 million ($5.24 million) in damages after selling the bank expired carbon credits.
As the energy secretary said in March: "I want a decarbonised grid in the long term, but we can't take our foot off the gas for some time yet." In this bill we see the rupture of the cross-party consensus on climate change, and the abandonment of the carbon budgets required to meet the 2050 target.
