The average daily global sea surface temperature beat a 2016 record this week, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus.
It reached 20.96C. That’s far above the average for this time of year.
Dr Samantha Burgess, from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, says March should be when the oceans globally are warmest, not August.
“The fact that we’ve seen the record now makes me nervous about how much warmer the ocean may get between now and next March,” she says.
By March El Nino will be in full swing. 2024 is going to be a very sad year for life on Earth.
The most surprising thing to me here, is that I’m looking at a scuba diver writing on what appears to be a piece of paper on a clipboard.
On the plus side, we don’t need to buy hot tubs anymore, so we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.
I’m glad someone can always look on the bright side.
