Another major environmental catastrophe that impacts on climate and world trade, but it is not on the radar. The following link is a good video of the Sargassum problem, a pelagic seaweed floating on the surface of the ocean. When we sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, we got stuck three times in giant mats of Sargassum. The video gives a good explanation of what happens in the Caribbean when it washes ashore, but it misses the major environmental and economic implications that have a profound impact on world trade and marine life in an entire ocean. The Sargassum starts off from the coast of Brazil; it picks up nutrients from the Amazon and grows at an accelerated rate. It can double in biomass every 10 days. The weed crosses the South Atlantic to Africa and flows up the west coast, picking up more nutrients from the Congo and Gambia as well as agricultural run-off. By the time it reaches North Africa, Cape Verde, it takes a left turn and starts heading back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. There should only be 1 million tonnes of the weed in the Atlantic, but there are now 40 million, and it is expanding year on year. Sargassum is a plant, and like all plants, it requires nutrients such as phosphate. However, the massive amount of weed uses up all the phosphate and then biochemically defaults to absorbing arsenic, which sits below phosphate in the periodic table. The Equatorial Atlantic is now devoid of phosphate, which means there is almost no phytoplankton, zooplankton or fish. When we conducted our citizen science project, 5000 samples were collected by 25 yachts at around 15 deg. North, and the results all confirmed that the Equatorial Atlantic was effectively dead. The results were not ignored by the academics; instead, they attacked the Citizen Science project, this has become the subject of a reports by Given the phytoplankton, such as coccolithophores and diatoms, have exhibited a regime shift, it also means the SML oil surfactant layer is gone, which means evaporation across the air-water interface has increased and aerosol/cloud formation has decreased. Satellite. Imagery confirms a 10%+ increase in humidity and a 10%+ decrease in cloud formation and rain. This is climate change TICC, the consequences. Impact on Central America, the survival of the tropical rainforests, mangroves, coral reefs, 25% of all marine life in the Atlantic and water supply for the Panama Canal. 6% of world trade and 40% of USA trade pass through the canal, and it has been totally missed as a major economic and environmental catastrophe.

Planet-heating methane is escaping from cracks in the Antarctic seabed as the region warms, with new seeps being discovered at an “astonishing rate,” scientists have found, raising fears that future global warming predictions may have been underestimated.

Copepods, could stop climate change 5 gigatons of these 1mm-sized zooplankton called COPEPODS live in all the world’s Oceans. This is equivalent to 17 million 747 jets, and if you laid the jets end to end, they would go around the planet 31 times. The copepods migrate from around 200m below the ocean surface every night to feed on plants (phytoplankton) at the surface. It is the greatest mass migration of animals on the planet, and it happens twice a day. The vertical motion of the copepods moves just about as much water as the moon and the tides. The copepods eat 30 times more carbon than humanity generates from burning fossil fuels, and about 6%, or 3 gigatons, of their dead bodies and poop end up in the world’s largest carbon bank, the Abyss. The Abyss contains 500m to 1000’s of meters thick layer of organic carbon / mineral sludge with an area greater area than dry land on the planet. Yet humanity has wiped out more than 50% of marine plankton productivity over the last 70 years due to chemical and particle pollution. We have also wiped out 50% of Arctic krill, which are just as important. and we are now even contemplating dredging the ocean floor! We would not have had climate change if we had not poisoned and destroyed most of the world’s oceans. By 2045, the destruction will be complete unless we act now to stop the inevitable annihilation of nature and life on Earth. Let’s put things into perspective, in comparison to protecting nature, carbon mitigation, windmills and electric cars are almost a joke.

The Mediterranean is actually boiling 🥵 more light crude ships means more methane slip a 80x more potent greenhouse gas. This video shows the xAI supercomputer turbines but many ship now have similar emissions and less dimming Sulfur.

The Termination Shock was in the past and now we will see a new state of Climate Regime a lot warmer one. With all the nasty consequences. Most Top Tier voices have not started to rethink everything. Ignoring the Crisis is a luxury common people do not have, they will feel the brutally of more heat. From city planers to economist and however we name all the high paid planning entities, you have no more excuse. Come forward and discuss your Adaptation and Mitigation strategies, or just admit that you wanted to start to think never or maybe in the future and you really honestly trusted in the magical reduction of greenhouse gases.

train station in Nantes opened in 2020 with no air conditioning. The design promised it would regulate its own temperature in extreme heat. Six years later, when it's 26°C outside, it's 32°C inside. They're bolting on giant fans to fix it. The building has large glass walls. That's the whole problem in one sentence. Glass admits solar radiation, traps the heat inside (the greenhouse effect, the same physics that warms your car in a parking lot), and a structure with big glazed facades facing the sun will get hotter than the air outside no matter what the design brief promised. You cannot passively "self-regulate" your way out of solar gain through that much glass during a heatwave. Physics doesn't read the architectural statement. I (Skander Garroum) wrote an essay a while back about Europe's strange denial around air conditioning, the cultural conviction that AC is an American excess Europeans are too virtuous to need. This station is that denial poured into concrete and glass. The intention was admirable: build a station that stays comfortable without the energy cost of mechanical cooling. The execution ignored that the building's own form (sun-facing glass, an open hall) made passive cooling impossible from day one. The deeper issue is that Europe is designing buildings for a climate that no longer exists. The Nantes station was conceived when European summers were milder and a heatwave was a rare event. The thermal model assumed a cooler baseline. Then the baseline moved. Summers that used to peak in the low 30s now push higher and last longer. A building designed for the old normal becomes a kettle in the new one. Via Skander Garroum (this is France but the Denial is global you See just everywhere)

Valencia is a thing for the insurance industry and car industry. A collapsing world is quite profitable for some.

I have worked on microplastic pollution for over 20 years and am not usually shocked by what I find. The millions of microplastic particles we recently encountered while swimming on a family holiday in Europe underscore the urgent need for action. Such images will become normality for us all if nations fail to take the decisive steps needed to end plastic pollution during current UN negotiations in Geneva. Via Richard Thompson Prof Marine Biology We have failed so many years ago! Not a Single Solar powered plastic to fuel ⛽️device on a fishing ship or informal settlement to make cash 🤑 out of waste and the sun. From now on only helpless and perplexed people.
