worried about / trying to understand ocean temperature

[LongTermLurker]

It's anyone else feeling worried about the record breaking increase in sea temperatures? I mean, I'm worried anyway about climate change, and manage this anxiety by doing pretty much everything I can do to live sustainably, but the graph here is mind-blowing. BBC article says that surface water temperature in Florida is as hot as a hot-tub!

It's hard to see this as anything other than utterly catastrophic!

Bump

The marine scientists are worried . So I'm worried. I'm not a scientist so I don't understand the details so this post is a bump for you @LongTermLurker

[LongTermLurker]

Thanks! It's just so off the scale...I can only assume no one knows what the implications are.

It’s a disaster for coral reefs 😞
They were just beginning to recover from the high temperatures in 2015/2016

There is a great podcast

Which will help you understand a bit more.

There is a guest on the podcast called Zeke Hausfather I find him really helpful to listen to. He’s honest and clear without being terrifying.

I get wondering and wanting to learn about something, but I don't think worrying will help lower the temperature

@WandaWonder This is a good way to be.
