Ummmm – this latest report on Ocean warming is really, really, really bad

Scientists alarmed as global ocean temperatures skyrocket to record-breaking levels

Ocean surface heat is at record-breaking levels. Temperatures began climbing in mid-March and skyrocketed over the course of several weeks, leaving scientists scrambling to figure out exactly why.

Temperatures have fallen since their peak in April — as they naturally do in the spring — but they are still higher than they have ever been on record for this time of year.

“It is remarkable,” said Gregory C. Johnson, an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which calculates the ocean surface temperature using a network of ships, buoys, satellites and floats.

Although it’s still preliminary data, if it holds up, he said, “this is another milestone.”

Wow.

The new report on sea warming is so fucking grim and I think pretending shit is going to get better if we recycle, ride a bike and become carbon neutral by 2050 is nothing more than vacant optimism.

I just don’t think the vast majority of Kiwis have any comprehension yet just how bad things are going to get from a purely scientific point of view.

To exemplify this disconnect between what is about to envelope us and our current state of ignorance is this rolling climate change protest action in Wellington that has interfered with traffic.

Those complaining about this protest style better get used to it because the catastrophic and extreme climate we are about to witness will push protestors into more and more radical action.

The Sea warming report is so grim because it is now apparent the warming oceans will melt the frozen methane on the ocean floor causing enormous belches of methane that once triggered cascade pushing global temperatures up by 10 degrees in the space of a decade which would melt all the Greenland ice sheet, which in turn would pump fresh water into the Labrador Sea which in turn would shut down the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation off and plunge the Northern Hemisphere into an ice age.

It’s all the worst parts of Armageddon, but under water.

The rolling protest action that has been happening in Wellington all week is just the beginning of the response to our refusal to adapt to climate change and the protests are only going to get more and more disruptive because ever passing week there are more and more extreme climate events.

One of the reasons why your food inflation is blowing out is because of mass droughts and mass flooding events interrupting the agricultural calendar!

It’s impacting our food prices right now!

That’s why the hate speech laws and the new police surveillance powers that the woke are screaming for will be immediately used on environmentalists you clowns!

The climate catastrophe is only going to get more extreme as the years go by, our refusal and denial to do anything meaningful to respond to that reality will drive the protest movement towards more disruptive actions, disruption that the State will immediately use the very powers the woke are demanding they be given.

The woke believe the new powers they are demanding for the State will be used to arrest the racists, transphobes and sexists.

The reality is the State will use them against those who threaten capitalism.

We have no idea how bad shit is going to get once methane from the ocean floor starts bubbling to the surface because the heat starts melting it.
