The blue ocean event is coming. We’re so fucked. It’s going to happen so fast too.

It’s the winter in the Antarctic. Sea ice should be rising!

Yea well it’s not. And that’s bad

Better, but still bad.

Per the article:

For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it’s five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we’d expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years.
