Ireland is experiencing one of the most extreme marine heatwaves on earth, so why aren’t we more alarmed?

Probably because other than going out with ships full of ice cubes there is nothing we can do about it.
1. We don’t live in the sea and thus don’t notice. (Joking aside, most people don’t know.)
2. We didn’t cause it, nor can we fix it.
Because we’ll all be long dead before it all goes tits up
Because we’re enjoying it?
A press release from the Mister for Ah Shar It’ll be Grand said, and I quote, “Ah shar, it’ll be grand”
It isn’t uncomfortable and we know it’s due to climate change. It’s an expected development. Not good, but it is hard to be alarmed when we knew this was going to happen.
Because it’s behind a paywall
What fking heatwave. Weather is shite as usual…
Because it’s pissing rain
How is that unelected and unqualified person still getting published in national news papers?
Thank you! I’ve been trying to tell as many people as I can. Heatwaves are a disaster for aquatic life. I’ve already seen the results of coral bleaching in Asia, I really hate to see what will happen to our life here.
It’s more important than ever for everyone to stop or seriously reduce their consumption of fish. We need to take the pressure off sea life so they can recover before it’s too late and heatwaves/ pollution finish off the rest. Even farmed fish are seriously affecting ocean life, through wild fish catch to feed salmon or simply nutrients polluting the water.
Too busy worrying about affording to eat after paying the bills instead.
It’s a case of not knowing what it is, what it indicates, what the prognosis is or whether we can do a damned thing about it.
It’s a bit like an asteroid heading in our direction and everyone pretending it’s not been spotted. 👀
Theres a too many things to be alarmed with already.
Obviously its a massive issue but theres only so many fucks a person can give
I told ye already it’s further down on my list of “Things that are alarming me”
Very concerning indeed like as much as I enjoy the good weather it’s concerning that somewhere else in the world is likely suffering terribly also like somewhere else is likely alot dryer so Forrest fires and droughts we already saw Spain experience a crazy drought that impacted food production which is where we get alot of our fruits from.
This keeps going bananas and apples will cost 5€ each.
Seen Texas in the last few days, which is on its own power grid separate from all other US states has been saved the last few days by solar and wind energy production during weeks long heat wave that has killed people yet all their politicians want to ban solar and wind for some reason 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ money is king and we’re all fucked
