A friend of mine in the Florida Keys is telling me ocean waters are already over 90 degrees

Yes, it's very concerning and sad. I'm not sure if some people who mock and laugh off the reality of this, realize how serious the heating up of our oceans really is. Even if they don't care about the whole other world of life within those waters, I wonder if they know how dire this will likely be for all life.

Well, a researcher out of some US school on or near the Gulf of Mexico did a study quite a while ago, taking cores of some of the reefs when they shut down due to warming back then...

And his results included the fact that he never saw any of his sampled corals EVER shut-down at any point before he took the samples.

That is one of the many converging lines of evidence supporting global warming.

The only thing that is impeding development is the dust off the Sahara desert and the smoke from Canada. I expect a lot of damage from storms this year.

They are hurting themselves in so many ways. 😞

Florida will be the first to go if the water levels rise. They don't want to believe it, until it does happen. Which will be far too late.

What is it normally this time of year?

This planet and society in general are cooked.
