#FotoVorschlag: Klar Schiff // Shipshape

Wenn das auch mal für die Strände gelten würde, nicht nur für die #Schiffe und #Boote. Aber dass alles mit Plastik zugemüllt ist, ist irgendwie ein Naturgesetz, dem man halt beikommt, indem man jeden Morgen mit Traktoren die Strände für die Touris glatt zieht. (Das war zumindest 2016 mein Eindruck, vielleicht ist das jetzt viel besser?) Der ganze Müll stammt natürlich nicht nur aus Malaysia, sondern wird vom #Meer an die Küsten geschwemmt.
Na ja, aber heute ist das Thema ja "Klar Schiff", da soll der #Strand auf dem Foto natürlich einigermaßen sauber aussehen.

If only the beaches were as shipshape as the #boats and #ships. But beaches strewn with plastic seem like some cruel law of nature that's "managed" by sending tractors to smooth them over at dawn for the tourists. (At least this was my impression in 2016. Maybe it's a lot better now?) Of course, not all the litter originates from Malaysia. Much of it washes ashore from the #ocean.
But today it's all about "shipshape", so this #beach, from this perspective, is mostly litter-free.

Sea levels around Africa are rising faster than the global average: What's behind this alarming trend

The western #IndianOcean and the tropical #Atlantic were already abnormally warm in 2023–2024, with sea surface temperatures well above their long-term averages. This created a higher baseline from which #ElNiño could push up temperatures, and therefore sea levels.

Unusual wind patterns suppressed the normal process of upwelling. This is when winds push surface water aside, allowing colder, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to rise to the surface. The result was that heat was trapped at the surface instead of being mixed downward and replaced by cooler water. The #ocean layers did not mix well.

The result was striking. Thermal expansion alone (warmer water) accounted for over 70% of the exceptional #SeaLevelRise during this event, reaching nearly 30mm across the #Africa'n marine domain. Ocean heat content

Sea levels around Africa are rising faster than the global average: What's behind this alarming trend

For over three decades, satellites orbiting Earth have measured the height of the ocean surface with remarkable precision. These measurements are crucial because changes in ocean height are one of the clearest indicators of how our planet is responding to climate change. Rising ocean surfaces signal warming temperatures, melting ice, and shifting ocean currents.

The #NIC is composed of veteran analysts who produce classified assessments meant to represent the collective wisdom of Washington’s 18 #intelligence agencies.
The #CIA referred questions to the #ODNI [#TulsiGabbard], which declined to comment. The White House did not say if #Trump was briefed on this assessment before approving the #military operation, which has quickly expanded east to include submarine warfare in the #IndianOcean & west to counter-missile showdowns near #NATO member #Turkey.​
