Ocean Temperatures Are Rising Much Faster Than Scientists Expected.

1. If only we could do something to slow it down

2. Duh! Because it’s physics – it’s exponential – and the inputs are changing (aka increasing) at different rates all the time which are usually always increasing so of course the exponential increase is going to be increasing even quicker. It’s not rocket science.

3. Well, we’ve had a good run. Almost as long as the dinosaurs, amirite?

4. Since the scientist models or conclusions drawn from the models are constantly wrong, why tf do we have to listen to them on ocean fertilization? It’s a cheap solution that potentially mitigates or cures most of the problems we recognize from climate change. I understand there is no money to be made by fixing the world’s climate problems with common industrial waste (rust… literally iron rust) but why not at least truly study the concept in good faith?

5. The title feels a bit disingenuous. They found the oceans are warming up faster, and even this short article mentions it’s attributed to the faster release of greenhouse emissions. So it’s not exactly unexpected.

   If you consider the oceans’ thermal inertia, it seems to make perfect sense that its warming trend tracks our greenhouse gas emissions, just a bit slower.
