My God. Please listen to me instead: It’s important to remember that although scientists estimate the ocean produces at least 50% of the oxygen on Earth (from oceanic plankton — drifting plants, algae, and some bacteria), roughly the SAME AMOUNT IS CONSUMED BY MARINE LIFE. So unless you are...

“I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on Earth, a nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In this limitless nation, this nation of wind, and light, and peace, there is no ruler besides the sea.” Said Bernard Moitessieur. More than half the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean. It gives us life—yet we repay it by choking it with plastic. Between my two circumnavigations—first in 2012–13, then a decade later in 2022–23—I witnessed unsettling changes. The weather grew more unpredictable. Entire species of marine life had vanished from familiar waters. The ocean felt quieter, emptier. By some estimates, over 90% of large fish populations have already been wiped out. Climate change is altering the very rhythm of the sea. A warmer ocean might seem calm on the surface, but it’s a dangerous stillness. When the layers of the ocean stop mixing, oxygen levels drop, and life begins to die out silently, far below. We still don’t fully understand the ocean—and that’s exactly why its changes should alarm us. Life on Earth began in these waters. The salt in our sweat and tears mirrors the salinity of the sea. In a very real sense, we carry the ocean within us. It’s time to protect what once gave us life—and still does. Before the silence spreads any further. #WorldOceansDay #ProtectOurOceans #FromSeaToSoul #ClimateCrisis

Some thoughts about this and essentially leaving people on the mountain and not saving them. Everest is tricky regarding helping people who are stuck and can't walk any longer. It's not about not helping them because you won't summit, It's about not helping them because you'll both die. A lot of time spent on Everest, you're essentially dying. At around 8,000 meters, you reach what's called the death zone. So if summitting from the Nepal side, that'd be Camp IV/South Col. When you cross that, you can no longer acclimatize because of the lack of oxygen. Even sherpas who have been born into these high altitudes struggle. Yes, oxygen tanks help, and sherpas will stash some for you, but ounces truly equal lbs up there. You have a short window to summit, based on predicted weather, and you shoot your shot and pray the weather holds. Even under ideal weather conditions, it can be a nightmare because the mountain has become a tourist attraction. It's no longer just skilled climbers trying to summit. It's people with money who didn't know how to use crampons before arriving at basecamp. You can die on the mountain because of a traffic jam from everyone taking their summit shot during the same window. At these heights, with your body shutting down already, how do you expect someone to carry another grown man down the mountain? Someone who can barely move from hypoxia and is oftentimes not even in the right frame of mind. You have around 20 hours WITH oxygen in the death zone before you die. Most deaths on the mountain happen during the descent, too. At that altitude, your decision making isn't the best either due to the lack of oxygen. You're just not getting someone off the mountain in almost all cases. Rarely, but it happens, a sherpa might accomplish it. It's not about missing the summit, it's about not becoming another brightly colored jacket icicle on the way to the summit. When you agree to go up that high, you agree that you're willing to die for it. You understand that no one is coming to save you, and that's the true price of admission .
