Global Warming Causes “Deadly Marine Cold Spells”

“Bait and switch science” says global warming caused a “deadly marine cold spell.” Real science says “move along, there’s nothing to see here.”

NY Times: "The Widest-Ever Global Coral Crisis Will Hit Within Weeks, Scientists Say. Rising sea temperatures around the planet have caused a bleaching event that is expected to be the most extensive on record."

A new study of more than 45,000 water samples around the world found that about 31% of groundwater samples tested that weren’t near any obvious source of contamination had levels of PFAS chemicals considered harmful to human health. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/04/09/sustainability/pfas-forever-chemicals-water-worldwide/ #environment #sustainability #pfas #pollution #water #oceans

PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ pervasive in water worldwide, study finds

The study of over 45,000 water samples worldwide found that about 31% of groundwater had levels of the chemicals considered harmful to human health.

"The world’s population increasingly relies on the ocean for food, energy production and global trade yet human activities at sea are not well quantified."

"We find that 72–76% of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are not publicly tracked, with much of that fishing taking place around South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa."

"We also find that 21–30% of transport and energy vessel activity is missing from public tracking systems."

"Our map of ocean industrialization reveals changes in some of the most extensive and economically important human activities at sea."

Satellite mapping reveals extensive industrial activity at sea - Nature

Satellite imagery, vessel GPS data and deep-learning models are used to map industrial fishing vessel activities missing from public tracking systems and changes in offshore energy infrastructure in the world’s coastal waters during 2017–2021.
