Since we have begun burning fossil fuels, the ocean has acted as a buffer, preventing us from feeling the full effects of our actions. This article states that the ocean will eventually lose its ability to absorb CO2. Currently, the ocean absorbs about 1/3 of our CO2 emissions, but soon that 1/3 will instead end up as a GHG in our atmosphere.
This is collapse related, because we have depended on the ocean's ability to protect us from ourselves. We will be seeing warming happening at a much faster pace as a result. The ocean also absorbs 93% of all heat captured by human-caused GHGs, and perhaps that could also be ending soon. -

Over the past 15 years, populations of bees shrank 62.5% and those of butterflies dropped 57.6% in a forest in the U.S. southeast. In addition, the number of bee species there fell by 39%, the team reports this month in Current Biology.
The team suspects climate change may be warming the region and affecting bee and possibly butterfly survival. -

A single healthy tree needs about 11,000 gallons of water annually, and some Utah authorities are pushing to seriously consider large-scale thinning projects that would remove large swathes of forest. They argue that water could then be used to replenish the shrinking Great Salt Lake.
