"The authors note that one group of researchers found that the number of such #heatwaves in 2023–2024 was 240% higher than any other year in recorded history. They also note that the more often such heat waves occur, the more difficult it is for affected areas to recover."

I know we're land dwellers, but this is a water planet, and we need to pay attention to what's happening with the water.

Scientists highlight alarming rise in marine heat waves worldwide

A team of Earth scientists, marine biologists, oceanologists and climate change specialists affiliated with multiple institutions in Australia and the U.K. is warning of the dangers associated with an increase in the number of marine heat waves in recent years.

"Studie zu #Meerestemperaturen: Tiefe Wasser sind heiß

Erstmals wurden Daten zur #Wassertemperatur auch in den Tiefen der #Ozeane erhoben. Die Ergebnisse sind überraschend."

Wo da jetzt allerdings die Überraschung ist, habe ich nicht verstanden. Die beschriebenen Effekte lassen sich eigentlich erahnen und sind jetzt nachgewiesen.

According to scientists, ocean heat waves are increasingly frequent and intense, pushing marine life to their limits. These events can lead to mass deaths, habitat loss, and changes in the distribution of marine species, which in turn can impact ecosystems and human activities. Experts warn that with climate change the situation will only worsen. #OceanHeatWaves #MarineLife #ClimateAction

The ocean is responding to mounting human threats in surprising ways

Understanding how marine life can recover — and when it can't — can help prioritize and tailor conservation efforts.
