This interactive model created by the University of Maine shows a much higher sea surface temperatures, compared to any other year.
Hang on to your butts people. Scientists still can’t agree if a BOE (Blue Ocean Event) will come in our lifetime, but things do not look promising.
To see a real-time global map of sea surface temperatures, go to earth.nullschool.net and select Ocean - SST, or Ocean - SSTA for a map of sea surface temperature anomalies.
On the one hand, I’m curious about how fucked up upcoming weather will be, on the other, I will need to live through it.
Within the span of one week, the price of tomatoes here doubled! they are grown near-by, but we had little-bit of out of season rains.
Seas getting that much hotter will reduce fish catch, I don’t eat fish, but people that do will replace it with other food. It may also lead to more weird rains.
This is not going to be fun.
I know exactly what you mean. In our lifetimes we will probably witness and experience things that no generation of humans has ever experienced before.
On one hand this is very exciting! Part of me is just purely fascinated and extremely curious about having the unique opportunity to live in these times and witness these things!..
…But then I remember I am not a passive watcher of these events, but instead a soft squishy meatbag who is also affected by temperature changes, and who needs water and food and so on.
We certainly live in interesting times.
