Then, there’s this major “YIKES”:

As Florida ocean temperatures soar, a race to salvage imperiled corals.‘This is definitely the worst bleaching event that Florida has ever seen,’ one veteran researcher said, as a marine heat wave shows few signs of ending.

“If it remains this hot for the next six weeks, we are going to see a lot more coral mortality out there,” said Lewis, director of the Florida Institute of Oceanography’s Keys Marine Laboratory.

Already, scientists have reported widespread coral bleaching along parts of the roughly 360-mile-long reef, the third largest on the planet. If the heat drags on, they say, a massive coral die-off could follow, with grave consequences for fish and other ocean organisms that depend on the reefs, tourism, commercial fishing and part of the state’s very identity.

Does anyone remember all the dead animals washed up on the west coast last year as a result of last year’s heat dome? I didn’t get out there, but I heard that the smell of the decay was overwhelming.

And now there’s a bunch of experts predicting with 95% certainty that the ocean currents keeping Europe warm in the winter: Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will collapse within this century. Starting as early as “now”. Cold Europe, higher US East Coast ocean levels, midwest US drought and oh yeah, more and more powerful hurricanes.

I’m the early seventies, it was the population explosion that was going to come to disaster point within 20 years.

It’s global warming until it’s global cooling. Sheesh.

Now, when you fish, the kingfish is netted cooked and ready to eat!

Lord Trump claims climate change is a hoax, MAGA GOP agrees, nothing changes. Portfolio over planet.

Sea life is either dying or relocating to cooler waters! Corals in the Great Barrier Reef has had a lot of damage years ago and suntan lotions don’t help the cause! They’re still working on it

And yet a portion of the country in still unconvinced that climate change is real. SMH.

^ Fox…news…I laughed…I cried and then just shook my head. Now try, “heat wave of 2023 caused by climate change” as a search phrase.

^^"foxnews Opinion still laughing.

It was much hotter for far longer I. The 30’s it weather people get over it and stop trying to destroy the economy with you green BS

Somebody, cough, cough, has a braille keyboard.
