Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and its benefits. The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil fuel emissions are doing to our oceans. easternherald.com/2026/06/13…

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temperatures warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention. #climate #globalwarming #science #climatechange

Imagine waking up and half the oxygen on Earth is gone. Sounds impossible? The oceans produce around 50% of the oxygen we breathe. The planet's biggest life-support system isn't on land, it's underwater. 🧵👇 (1/5) #WorldOceansDay

Today is World Ocean Day and our oceans are being bombarded by all kinds of threats like pollution, over-fishing, acidification, etc… But as a meteorologist, I’ll discuss the rapid warming! We often focus on air temperatures. But the real story is in the oceans. More than 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases is retained in the ocean. Each year a new assessment is released, and in 2025 the world’s oceans gained an astounding 23 zettajoules (ZJ) of heat. In relatable terms that’s equivalent to: 🌊 37 years of humanity’s current annual energy consumption 🌊 About 380 million Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs worth of energy 🌊 More than 200 times the world’s annual electricity generation And that’s just one year! Why does this matter? Warmer oceans can fuel marine heatwaves, coral bleaching and death, sea level rise through thermal expansion, contribute to bigger land heatwaves, and provide more energy for heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones. Ocean warming also stresses marine ecosystems that support fisheries, biodiversity, and coastal economies around the world. The ocean has shielded us from much greater atmospheric warming by absorbing the vast majority of Earth’s excess heat. But that protection comes with growing consequences for ocean health. On this World Ocean Day, it’s worth remembering that the ocean is not just responding to climate change, it’s bearing the brunt! We must protect our oceans. #WorldOceanDay #Ocean #Climate #OceanHeat #ClimateChange Paper link in 🧵

Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) nytimes.com/2026/06/01/clima…

even as the risk of flesh-eating bacteria in warming waters is increasing alarmingly, the T***p administration is removing ocean monitors to gauge changes in currents & climate. (see the horrific article in this week's New Yorker, if you can bear to read it.)

BIG OIL HAS NO BUSINESS BEING ANYWHERE NEAR PRISTINE ALASKAN WILDERNESS.
The Trump administration is speeding up permitting for oil and gas drilling in the Alaskan wilderness, destroying a vital nesting area for migratory birds.
