The oceans are a vital regulator for the climate and our weather but are rapidly heating up.

The average daily global sea surface temperature beat a 2016 record this week, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus.

It reached 20.96C. That’s far above the average for this time of year.

    The oceans have healed before and are far more capable of that than you seem to think.

    Will it take millions of years? Ofc it will. But it will happen, because as long as there is one single-celled organism that survives our self-immolation it will grow and produce and evolve.
