When we hear that #2023 is the hottest year ever, it is hard to understand the extent. Maybe it is only just a little bit hotter? Unfortunately no. I am back from a symposium on marine environment at Tohoku University, and here is the picture that I saw. Regarding #sea surface #temperature, 2023 is hotter to an extent that was never observed since we monitor that temperature globally. https://climate.copernicus.eu/record-high-global-sea-surface-temperatures-continue-august

Do we know what the tipping point is for increasing sea surface temperatures and decreases in biodiversity which will affect the whole life / food cycles of everything on this planet?

It is difficult to understand the magnitude of this seemingly small (to a layperson) temperature change. Considering the vast masses of water involved that are heated up... just shockingly scary. 😱 Speechless...
