They don't get it! A collapsing society offers at the end no opportunity only misery and despair including the super rich...

The future of the oceans is defining the future of humanity One thing you don't want to have on a water planet is collapsing oceans...

Importance: the collapse of the terrestrial carbon sink is accelerating non-linear! #climate #Earth

Heatwave over Greenland in May 2025 drives melt to go up 17-fold during peak temperatures " Climate change drives record-breaking heat in Iceland and Greenland challenging cold adapted ecosystems and societies" #climate #Arctic

Turtle Mutual Aid:

Importance: Earth is a non-linear system whose non-linearity is triggered by temperature jumps. As we do not reduce our emissions while both carbon sinks are now weakening/collapsing we are now entering highly dangerous territory... #climate #Earth

A striking lesson of the past: In a warmer climate sudden cascading feedback reactions had been triggered by a small additional warming... #climate #climaterisk #uöäü1paleo

Pictures from above and below the end times oceans... #oceans #Earth

This study is a must read... Microplastics are an overkill for the biosphere Even suppresses the formation of Sea spray aerosols which are important for latent heat loss of the oceans and cloud formation Impacts on photosynthesis and deoxygenation of the oceans just devastating #climate #earth

As microplastics are wrecking our biosphere in manifold ways here one example: Jellyfish carcasses make a major contribution to detrital carbon and nitrogen fluxes in the ocean. The consumption of MPs may prevent jellyfish carcasses from sinking and the proper functioning of the biological pump.

Importance: microplastic pollution impedes photosynthesis and enhances oxygen consumption... "Regional recovery from microplastic-induced remineralization and water column deoxygenation could take hundreds of years for coastal upwelling zones, the North Pacific and Southern Ocean." #ocean #earth

Voices of Africa: Resource nationalism is spreading across Africa like wildfire - nice! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3wF... #Africa #west #politics #EU #US #China

So important: Bio-chemo-physical ocean monitoring program with floaters down to 2000m depths...
