Sea temperatures around Malta have risen to 29C

[jag]

Read that again not the air temperature but the surface water temperature of the sea.

"Malta’s waters are experiencing a strong marine heatwave, with sea temperatures of almost 29°C placing marine life under threat, a leading oceanographer has said.

Aldo Drago, a professor of oceanography, said the sea surface temperature around the Maltese islands rose from 27°C on July 14 to 28.8°C on July 20, just six days later.

This is roughly 3.7°C higher than the long-term average for this time of year, Drago said."

What’s that around 80f?

Okay what are we expected to do try cool the oceans, impossible.

That is hot water a large body of water, I have a pool heater and it takes hours to reach 73F which I like to swim in.

Let's burn more oil and gas see if we can get it higher where fish and sea food becomes a thing of the past

Animal and plant life in the sea will evolve to tolerate the rise in temperature, it's called evolution.

Warmer water plant and fish will thrive, think of the positive side to this.

Your joking ????

Warmer water means LESS life in the oceans, not more. The warmer the ocean, the less dissolved oxygen it holds and the less nutrients are drawn up from the deep, both of which fish rely on. Traditional fishing areas around the world are rapidly depleting due to warmer sea temperatures.

Warmer ocean temperatures provide more moisture and energy, significantly fueling stronger hurricanes, more intense tropical storms, and heavier rainfall events.

Warmer oceans also melt the ice caps quicker leading to global sea level rises and driving global warming even further

Our oceans absorb over 90% of atmospheric heat but we are warming the atmosphere so much that its now affecting the oceans

Were you joking or serious hon?

Believe it or not, another consequence of a warmer ocean is that Europe and parts of Northern America will suffer much harsher winters and some experts predict that Europe could even enter into a mini ice age

Much of the Northern Hemisphere (Europe in particular) owes its temperate climate to the Gulf Stream which is a large scale Atlantic ocean current that brings warm water up from the Gulf of Mexico, along the USA/Canada east coast into the Atlantic Ocean. It's been doing this for millennia

As warm water flows from the equator to the poles it cools and some evaporation occurs, which increases the amount of salt. Low temperature and a high salt content means high density and the water sinks deep in the oceans. The cold, dense water then slowly flows back to the equator where it warms up again.

The problem is melting ice from Greenland and the Arctic pours fresh water into the North Atlantic. This fresh water dilutes the ocean's salt levels (salinity) and less salty water is lighter, meaning it fails to sink properly to drive the deep ocean current.

If the current stops (which many scientists believe it will) then that would lead to an average drop in temperature of up to 10 to 15 deg Celsius across Europe, widespread droughts, and devastating agricultural losses. Global precipitation belts would shift, and sea levels along the U.S. East Coast could surge by up to a meter or more.

The reason we are seeing these high temperatures is the earth is getting closer to the sun.

What complete and total bollox !!!!!

Why is it that you climate change deniers can't accept what is staring you in the face ???? First it was all a hoax made up by the democrats and (to quote Trump) "things were going to get a lot cooler". Then it was all down to China trying to sell more EVs. But now you can't deny that temperatures are going up and so you come up with wild theories like the earth is getting closer to the sun

We KNOW what is causing global warming. Scientists haven been predicting this for decades. It mankind burning more and more fossil fuels

Why is it Trump supporters just cannot see that ????

You do not need to argue, follow the science the rest is obvious.

No follow the money

Going for a swim in the sea will be more comfortable.
