New paper by #GrantFoster, #StefanRahmstorf, #LeonSimons

"The paper statistically shows to high probability that the acceleration of global warming has essentially doubled over the last decade, from 0.2 C per decade to more than double 0.43 C per decade. "

Fact: Taking a BC Ferry from Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island is a High CO2 experience, though if it's a full ferry, it's not terrible (~5kgCO2/passenger)

By 2031, BC Ferries will have replaced 18 ferries (big and small!) in 15 years, and nearly all will be 100% electric-ready.

They just announced they're doing the big ships next.

"Built with diesel-battery hybrid propulsion systems and designed with the capability to operate on full electric power in future, the NMVs are expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and lower underwater radiated noise to better protect marine life. With greater capacity than the vessels they replace, the NMVs will offer more space for vehicles and passengers and upgraded amenities, supporting a more reliable and comfortable travel experience.”

The age of fossil fuels is ending. Any politician or lobbyist who says otherwise is either not paying attention, or bought.

Ocean acidification, often called the “evil twin” of the climate crisis, is caused when carbon dioxide is rapidly absorbed by the ocean, where it reacts with water molecules leading to a fall in the pH level of the seawater. It damages coral reefs and other ocean habitats and, in extreme cases, can dissolve the shells of marine creatures.

The Guardian · ‘Ticking timebomb’: sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire ecosystems – studyVon Lisa Bachelor

Some of the excess carbon dioxide created by out-of-control capitalist industry and commerce goes into Earth’s atmosphere.

But a huge percentage of it is absorbed by our oceans, and that's not good…

The world’s oceans are in worse health than realised, scientists have said, as they warn that a key measurement shows we are “running out of time” to protect marine ecosystems.

“Ocean acidification isn’t just an environmental crisis – it’s a ticking timebomb for marine ecosystems and coastal economies,” said Prof Steve Widdicombe, co-chair of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network.

The deeper in the ocean they looked, the worse the findings were, the scientists said. At 200 metres below the surface, 60% of global waters had breached the “safe” limit for acidification.

“Most ocean life doesn’t just live at the surface,” said Prof Helen Findlay. “The waters below are home to many more different types of plants and animals. Since these deeper waters are changing so much, the impacts of ocean acidification could be far worse than we thought.”

This has, she added, huge implications for important underwater ecosystems such as tropical and even deep-sea coral reefs that provided essential habitats and nursery grounds for the young of many species.

I'm finding it hard to come up with words to discuss this. The wealthiest oligarch in the world, obviously also a murderous psychopath willing to poison entire communities. The string of obsceneties that I want to type would only begin to express the rage. How are these people allowed to become such monsters? Why do we tolerate their violence, their cruelty? Why do we allow them to exist?

FUCK YOU FUCKING FUCK.

...record low winds reduced the depth of water mixing. Warmer water, being lighter ... even less mixing, setting yet higher values. Lower winds ... fewer breaking waves, lowering albedo. Lower winds also meant fewer clouds, more heating in a vicious feedback loop...
