Deep Down Sea Problems

Previously thought impossible, coral at depths of up to 90 meters have been found to be bleached, in new research.
Unforeseen damage is yet another reason we need a billion climate activists. What else could you do?

Ocean Heat Through the Roof Since the 80s

Ocean heat content up 6X since the 1980s! From the 1960s-1980s the oceans stored ~75 Zettajoules of heat per month. Now it's 450. That's because 90% of the excess heat from human-caused climate change, due primarily to the burning of fossil fuels, is retained by the oceans

Thank goodness for our oceans. If it weren't for them, we'd be burning up. Heating water takes much more heat & the temp increases more slowly. BUT this heat is not lost, it's stored & is already coming back to haunt us. It's a buffer but the bill is coming due, with interest

Of course this shows no sign of slowing right now. To the contrary the pace has doubled since the 1990s as per a new paper: "ocean heat uptake has accelerated dramatically since the 1990s, nearly doubling during 2010–2020 relative to 1990–2000" https://nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42468-z…

Hotter oceans = more/ more intense heatwaves (land and marine), more extreme rainfall, stronger hurricanes and more rapid intensification... In a nutshell more extreme weather.

The Guardian - A Sick Joke

"If we’re forbidden from looking history in the eye during this horrific war, we’re doomed to repeat it”
Never again ..? What a sick joke. The Guardian Daily publishes overwhelming evidence of the greatest genocide in history - of the mainly rich, in full knowledge of the consequences of their actions, killing mainly poor people by putting more carbon into the air. And The Guardian does nothing.
Because it hides behind the obscene cover of "climate change", because to learn from history would require it to go into resistance, because it benefits from the genocide and so it doesn't give a shit. Thousands will march in London and be arrested for it - others will be imprisoned for encouraging people to march.
The Guardian will do nothing. No emergency meetings, no public ultimatums, no editor & staff joining in. Nothing. These are not liberals. They are cowards.
