Recent studies highlight the long-lasting effects of global warming on the world's oceans and marine biodiversity. One study suggests that even temporary global warming above 2℃ will have significant consequences for marine life for centuries. Another study indicates that changes in ocean temperature and oxygen levels could cause irreversible loss in the habitable volume of the upper 1000m of the ocean. Additionally, alarming reports show highly anomalous temperatures in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions, leading to a growing size of the global sea ice departure. Furthermore, over 40% of Antarctica's ice shelves have reduced in volume over the past 25 years, while 28 of them have lost more than half of their ice since 1997. These findings underscore the urgent need for global action to address climate change and its impact on the world's oceans.

Some climate buzz-kill: 1. 60% of Antarctica's ice shelves are not 'shrinking.' How does 'global warming' cause most not to 'shrink'? 2. Natural factors are at work. West Antarctica, where most of the 'shrinking' is occurring, is situated over volcanic activity. 3. Antarctica… https://t.co/vG84QuPftP https://t.co/LPgim8OK45

Over the past few years, 10 billion snow crabs have unexpectedly vanished from the Bering Sea. The unexpected drop in the crab population is linked to record-warm ocean temperatures and less ice formation, both associated with climate change. https://t.co/g5KIhdvrIo

Four dozen Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30% since 1997 and 28 of those have lost more than half of their ice in that time https://t.co/Ccm3eZU7Ye
Due to unusually low sea ice in the #Arctic and #Antarctic, the size of the global sea ice departure is growing to its most anomalous yet this year... More figures at https://t.co/ecHYax1KfT https://t.co/Zy57isrhj5
