Man, oceanographers have been shouting this for decades. And let's just throw marine biologists/marine chemists in there as well. Ocean currents are stupidly powerful, to have them stop is scary beyond comparison. The warning temperature lifting the calcium carbonate compensation depth, literally acidifying the ocean past the point of habitability for everything but jelly fish... Good bye oxygen. It was fun hanging with y'all, break out the good stuff because you aren't handing it down to the next generation.

Meanwhile, some world leaders are absolutely perplexed as to why their citizens aren’t choosing to have children.

I like how my head switched from how scary an alien invasion would be to thinking that aliens coming here and fixing this mess is our only hope at this point

i'm so glad i don't have to worry about retirement

Another 70 degree day! Perfect weather! February is the best time to start spring.

Scientists, probably: our models or data are incomplete so can’t fully explain or predict this. We should investigate to refine our models

Conservatives, most likely: scientists are wrong about global warming again. Why should we listen to this?

That globe is amazing! i would love to have a globe like that.

I used to work with ocean researchers and they are some of the most depressed, heavy drinkers I've ever met. A big reason I moved on from that workplace.

Imagine writing scientific papers on an ocean you already know is dead. Research which is funded by the government, the same people who allow clear cut logging inland which has decimated the salmon population, which is vital to ocean life. So you better not be too loud about that when it's time to apply for more funding.

Clear cut logging, so our useless commonwealth friends over in the Atlantic have wood chips to burn and toilet paper to waste.

Or, the absolute molestation of our mountains so the rest of the world can buy more phones and EVs, which has destroyed said watersheds.

Can someone tell me whether sea level rises are still a concern and if so, why no one seems concerned?

When I was a kid that was the big scary climate change thing. I know it's maybe only 50cm but that's still problematic for lots of real estate... isn't it?

Like just the other day I visited an expensive apartment that would've been maybe 50cm above sea level.

Florida can't sink quick enough

As opposed to an omen of the …

This is the best summary I could come up with:

From his office at the University of Miami, Brian McNoldy, an expert in hurricane formation, is tracking the latest temperature data from the North Atlantic with a mixture of concern and bewilderment.

Across the unusually warm Atlantic, in Cambridge, England, Rob Larter, a marine scientist who tracks polar ice levels, is equally perplexed.

The current El Niño weather cycle is also leading to additional heat in the Pacific Ocean and allowing more energy to be released into the atmosphere.

Recent research has suggested that as glaciers melt and more fresh water enters the Atlantic, a crucial ocean current could falter, potentially leading to drastic changes in global weather patterns, such as a rapid reduction in temperatures across Europe.

Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from the Central Park Zoo and became a New York City icon, died last Friday after he flew into a building.

In Central Park on Saturday, mourners carrying flowers and binoculars wandered among some of Flaco’s favorite oak trees, searching for the right spot to pay tribute, my colleague Ed Shanahan reported.
