[Ecodharma] Guardian article -- ocean surface temperature hits record high

[Meian]

Hope this is okay to post here. I closely follow topics of climate change and warming, but I'm not sure if it's okay to post them here without a direct correlation to the chapter topics.

From my perspective, the oceans are the womb of the earth, so I find this news especially distressing.

Thank you, Meian. I read this with dread. Paul Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd always says, “If the oceans die, we die.”

Thank you, Meian. It is scary that the oceans are warming, given the degree to which they are a huge heat sink.

It is interesting how phenomena such as La Niña can hide the warming. Well, at least for a few years...
