How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Kudos for the mathematical perspective. It seems wild to me that these crabs aren't instantly considered critically endangered. Perhaps more evidence is required to confirm the data.
Of course I didn't read the article, but harvesting doesn't help. I live about as far inland as you can get (not Russia, tho) and there are always "fresh" snow crab legs at the local grocery store.
You should probably take it with a pinch of salt, it's been forever since I've actually done statistics :o) I just remember the 6 sigma certainty thing when I used to study Biochemistry, I may well have applied it wrong here hah.
Harvesting won't help from now on, with such a small population, but it likely wasn't a factor in reducing the population from 6 billion.
Good enough for me. Objective analysis in a comment section is rare and refreshing. Cheers!
