The oceans are a vital regulator for the climate and our weather but are rapidly heating up.

The average daily global sea surface temperature beat a 2016 record this week, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus.

It reached 20.96C. That’s far above the average for this time of year.

    Eh my old man’s come around a lot these past few years.

    Shit he even for the first time in his entire life didn’t vote for the Liberal (right wing) party.

    But it’s too little too late unfortunately.

      Yeah, my parents went from chucking EVERYTHING in the same bin, food waste, cardboard, paper, batteries, whatever it is it went in the same bin and it smelled like death and leaked every single time. Now they recycle cardboard, at least milk cartons. I mean sure, there’s some change, but what use is it when the change should be pretty fucking big to make a difference - like you say, too little too late.
