Bread and Circuses on Nostr: During most of last year, from April to December, global sea surface temperatures ...
During most of last year, from April to December, global sea surface temperatures were in uncharted territory. That’s the orange line on the chart below.
The bold black line at the top shows 2024. As you can see, in every month so far this year, ocean temperatures have been well above even 2023’s record levels.
This is not normal, not at all. This is nothing like a “natural” or temporary fluctuation.
It takes an enormous, almost unimaginable amount of heat to raise sea surface temperatures this much in such a short time. Capitalist industry, commerce, and finance is actively destroying the biosphere we all depend upon to live.
As the saying goes, our planet is not dying. It is being murdered.
