"additional warming in the pipeline as the world moves to cleaner fuels"
Only some coal and one type of marine fuel (banned ~2020), produce significant sulfur emissions, so the reality is that the vast majority of people can switch to “cleaner fuels” right away. and with complete peace of mind, knowing they are helping to solve the problem of excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Surface impacted by strong or higher #MarineHeatWave North Atlantic 0°N-60°N

California's oceans are breaking temperature records during a historic heat wave, with Scripps Pier recording 71°F in March—its warmest on record—breaking daily marks for days. A strong marine heat wave has developed off Southern California's coast, driven by an atmospheric ridge that weakened upwelling, allowing warm surface water to dominate instead of cold, nutrient-rich deep water rising. This pattern threatens ecological and meteorological impacts into summer, with experts monitoring whether conditions worsen or fade. These unprecedented ocean temperatures signal the intensifying effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.

11) Alaska's iconic crab fisheries were shut down after marine heatwaves wiped out an estimated 10 BILLION snow crabs in a single year. Warmer Bering Sea waters likely boosted crab metabolism beyond what food supplies could sustain, triggering one of the most dramatic fishery collapses in history and devastating coastal communities and a billion-dollar industry.

Is (Adelaide's) stormwater contributing to the toxic algal bloom?

"... Stormwater "had never been sexy" and, as long as it was flushed away, it did not get the attention nor the government investment it deserved."

"The EPA's Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS) summary of 2008 stated that nutrient loads had increased 30 to 50 times since European settlement, and recommended steps to reduce wastewater, stormwater and industrial inputs. The study found the loss of seagrass was "mainly due to stormwater flows" "

Is Adelaide's stormwater contributing to the toxic algal bloom?

Adelaide's stormwater network has been discharging high loads of sediment into the Gulf of St Vincent for decades, killing off seagrasses that are a key defence against blooms of the kind wreaking havoc in South Australia.

The Guardian: Marine heatwave over Pacific Ocean could lead to flooding in north-west

Severe ‘blob’ or marine heatwave can lead to increased inundation and wintery weather in eastern North America

"...A marine heatwave known as a blob was especially severe this year in the north-western and central Pacific Ocean, which could lead in the coming months to increased flooding in the US Pacific north-west and especially wintery weather in eastern North America, according to climate scientists.

The temperature in August in the northern Pacific was 2.5C above preindustrial levels, according to Berkeley Earth, a non-profit that studies global warming...."

North Pacific Records Unprecedented Marine Heatwave Linked to Climate Change and Pollution Changes

The north Pacific Ocean experienced its warmest summer on record between July and September 2025, with sea surface temperatures surpassing previous highs by over 0.25°C. This extensive heatwave, covering an area roughly ten times the size of the Mediterranean, has puzzled climate scientists. While g... [More info]

#Jellyfish Shut Four French #NuclearReactors as #HeatWave Builds

August 11, 2025

"#Electricite de France SA [#EDF] was forced to shut four #AtomicReactors after a swarm of jellyfish clogged up filter drums at its #Gravelines power plant.

"The 'massive and unforeseen' [um, not if you read my posts -- very much FORESEEN] presence of jellyfish in the filter drums of pumping stations closed four out of six reactors at Gravelines on the north coast of France, EDF said in a statement on Monday. Pumping stations for coastal #NuclearPlants usually draw in sea water for cooling, sometimes exposing them to marine life.

"A #MarineHeatWave is intensifying off the west coast of France, with unusually warm waters in the English Channel near Gravelines, data from #Copernicus Marine Service show. Jellyfish populations can 'bloom' at such times, and France has closed several beaches in recent weeks due to invasions of the eight-legged molluscs, according reports compiled by the beach information app Meduseo."

Warming the climate and run off is making harmful algal blooms worse
Turning the ocean into a lifeless 'dead zone'

"The scale of each harmful algal bloom event seems to be increasing...We're basically seeing that the warming climate is changing the frequency and length and locations and toxicity of harmful algal blooms...If there isn't something done to mitigate, to reduce climate emissions, warming will continue and these kinds of events will be more and more likely."
