It's scientifically based, I fear people here who are talking about a coming ice age and people who aren't able to understand the possible severity and significance of this event. That is Much more frightening.

Corrected.

A synthesis of chatGPT: "A sudden spike in ocean temperature, such as the one observed by scientists recently, can have significant consequences for marine life and global weather patterns. Here are some potential consequences based on scientific literature:

1. Coral Bleaching: One of the most immediate consequences of warming oceans is coral bleaching, which occurs when corals expel the symbiotic algae that give them their vibrant colors and provide them with energy. This process weakens the coral and leaves it more vulnerable to disease and death. Studies have shown that coral bleaching events are becoming more frequent and severe as ocean temperatures rise.

2. Changes in Marine Ecosystems: Warming oceans can also disrupt marine ecosystems by altering the distribution and abundance of marine species. Some species, such as fish and sea turtles, may move to cooler waters, while others may struggle to adapt to the changing conditions. This can lead to declines in biodiversity and changes in food webs that can have far-reaching effects on marine ecosystems.

3. More Extreme Weather Events: Warming oceans can also affect global weather patterns by altering the circulation of air and ocean currents. This can lead to more frequent and intense weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods. Studies have shown that ocean warming is linked to an increase in the frequency and intensity of tropical storms, as warmer waters provide more energy for these storms to form and intensify.

4. Rising Sea Levels: Finally, warming oceans can contribute to rising sea levels, as warmer water expands and glaciers and ice caps melt. This can have significant consequences for coastal communities, as higher sea levels can lead to increased flooding, erosion, and loss of habitat for coastal species.

Overall, a sudden spike in ocean temperature can have far-reaching consequences for marine life and global weather patterns. While the exact impacts will depend on a variety of factors, including the duration and severity of the warming event, scientists agree that we need to take action to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate the effects of ocean warming on our planet."

The world’s oceans have suddenly spiked much hotter and well above record levels in the last few weeks, with scientists trying to figure out what it means and whether it forecasts a surge in atmospheric warming.

There are several marine heat waves or ocean warming spots that don’t fit an El Nino pattern, such as those in the northern Pacific near Alaska and off the coast of Spain, he said.

“This is an unusual pattern. This is an extreme event at a global scale” in areas that don’t fit with merely an El Nino, said Princeton University climate scientist Gabe Vecchi. “That is a huge, huge signal. I think it’s going to take some level of effort to understand it.”

Here in Italy the production of rice is stopped due to a severe drought, consequence of the climate crisis.

*Stopped in the sense that farmers couldn't even sow the rice.

The reality is that different biomarkers were discovered through the years by the Stanford centre by we are still looking for a specific biomarker to ME.

For example one of the criteria to diagnose ME is to have Pots, which is a disease with very specific symptoms.

Pots is a disfunction of the autonomic system and it is often associated with gastroparesis.

I repeat, you are endorsing a very obsolete theory about ME.

Higher neuroticism? I am a psychologist and this means nothing.

This "believes" were entertained for a long time about ME but we have enough scientifical evidence that they were false.

Historically, this happened with multiple sclerosis, people with ms were labelled as fakers and ms was called "faker's disease".

Let's not go again to those horrible times today.

For an ample literature about ME I Invite you to visit the open medicine foundation website (the centre that studies ME at Stanford).

I can confirm that I had ME for 10 years and the treatments which the author discusses helped me too, I had to discover them through experience but it has always been clear that my lactate levels were sky high, I've always felt as I was feeling after an all out rowing competition when I was healthy. The condition is terrible.

I can confirm that, after having ME for more than ten years, this researcher seem to have understood the underlying mechanisms. I've got better with a similar treatment and I will persevere now that I know more precisely what to do.

The fact is when you are recording a good quality video you never go over a few minutes of recording. So usually it doesn't bother film makers too much.

If you're recording a live opera it's a problem but then you usually have much higher quality gear without the limitations of a DSLR.

I agree, mainly because luxury emissions are what people aspire to, for themselves. This cultural model, that if you are consuming more you are cool and high status, has to stop.

No, you are a loser who can't read reality. If you have a private jet you are just ignorant, in the sense that you ignore what is happening on this planet.

That's a cultural shift that we need to happen swiftly.

I see many fatalistic posts.

Of course, saying "we are doomed" is the easiest way to continue to do what we are doing. It's just a defensive mechanism at this point.

We should be stopping the production of plastic and replace it with bioplastics immediately.

Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No.
