Like a hot tub: Water temperatures off Florida soar over 100 degrees

Or the 2000 dead penguins washing up on the coast of Uruguay just a few days ago. Apparently starved to death, though the cause is still being investigated.

But yeah the phytoplankton and algae boiling to death is triggering a catastrophic change in the ocean that is going to domino in horrible ways and I feel like I don't often see a lot of people mentioning it. It's very scary how the collapse of aquatic ecosystems is playing out.

Hah you're good I actually watched the original series when it came out.

Been meaning to try Brotherhood, I don't read manga so would be interesting to see the difference. But it's a heavy investment for a show I've sorta already seen.

Most unaccompanied children failed to win asylum in Greece, NGO says

Reply in thread

They are children. Wtf is this analogy of yours. Yes, if a starving child that was all alone asked to be fed and then when I told them I didn't have the means to support them (because, you know, I'm not fucking country, but some countries are in fact countries and have the resources of an entire nation) and would need to send them on their way, yes, I would make sure the starving child that was all alone had some proper way to get somewhere safe and not just send them back on the streets. Not really a wild concept.

July heat near impossible without climate change

Reply in thread

I've been surprised to not see a bunch of 'b-b-but it's only this this hot because of el nino' nonsense when talking about the current phase of our active climate crisis. Like, yeah, it's hotter because of the global weather phenomenon that occurs every few years but that's on top of everything else happening. We may not end up hitting record temps when we're back in La Nina (but the storm damage will be fucking devastating). But next time around it's just going to be like this but way way worse as the ocean continues dying, bad algae blooms, good algae withers, and co2 continues to get pumped into our atmosphere with little reprieve.
