I am unburdened by what has been.

Our Ocean is one of our planet’s
The Ocean provides over 50% of the world’s oxygen, captures 30% of human-made carbon emissions, and mitigates the climate crisis. The bottom line: We need a healthy Ocean for a healthy planet.
2.
Plastic is, by far, the most common and impacting pollutant in the Ocean.
80% of plastic in our Ocean comes from the land and most of that is made up of single-use plastic items; products we use once, then throw away. And that’s the biggest problem with plastic: there is no “away.”
3.
2.5 billion people live within 100km from our Ocean.
Coastal regions are densely populated areas with increasing rates of population growth (and who can blame them? Living near the Ocean has numerous benefits.)
But rapid urbanisation of our coastlines has negative impacts on the environment – many of which are linked to climate change.
With higher frequencies of natural weather events (like cyclones and hurricanes), erosion and land loss, and flooding, coastal regions have never been this vulnerable.
4.
Around 3 billion people rely on the Ocean for their primary source of protein: Seafood.
Seafood is the most notable thing we extract from the Ocean but it’s not the only thing. We also extract minerals, fossil fuels, and plants from the Ocean.
Our Ocean – as incredible as it is – is not limitless
5.
Humans work hard and always have something on the go. The Ocean is no different.
All around the world, our Ocean is in use every day. From cargo shipping for trade, passenger traffic for travel to commercial fishing and research – the Ocean is used widely. How we make use of the Ocean is what’s important.
We need to turn to using the Ocean sustainably to protect the awe-inspiring ecosystem that supports all life on Earth.
Ignorance has been considered a primary virtue in the US from the beginningGod created Invincible Ignorance to be flaunted!
It really has. As of 2022 a poll showed a majority of Americans could not name the three branches of government. If they can’t even do that, why would anyone expect a nation of dummies to understand and act on climate change? And, of course, the Orange Toad they voted back into office has promised to dismantle what little has been done to remediate climate change, so there we go.Ignorance has been considered a primary virtue in the US from the beginningGod created Invincible Ignorance to be flaunted!

It's like a middle school voting for the student body President who promised to replace school lunches with candy bars. May get the votes but ultimately is bad for the health of the students.And, of course, the Orange Toad they voted back into office has promised to dismantle what little has been done to remediate climate change, so there we go.
Its worse than you imagine. There are even elected members of Congress who couldn't name the three branches of government!It really has.

Notice a lack of a cite. Intensity?To understand how global warming is increasing intensity of hurricanes you first have to understand energy.
I think you have to first establish that hurricane intensity has increased. As far as the IPCC are concerned, there hasn’t been a significant or even detectable increase in hurricane intensity or frequency.
Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate (IPCC) said:In summary, there is mounting evidence that a variety of TCcharacteristics have changed over various time periods. It is likely thatthe global proportion of Category 3–5 tropical cyclone instances andthe frequency of rapid intensification events have increased globallyover the past 40 years. It is very likely that the average locationwhere TCs reach their peak wind intensity has migrated poleward inthe western North Pacific Ocean since the 1940s. It is likely that TCtranslation speed has slowed over the USA since 1900.
Global increase in major tropical cyclone exceedance probability over the past four decades said:Here the homogenized global TC intensity record is extended to the 39-y period 1979–2017, and statistically significant (at the 95% confidence level) increases are identified. Increases and trends are found in the exceedance probability and proportion of major (Saffir−Simpson categories 3 to 5) TC intensities, which is consistent with expectations based on theoretical understanding and trends identified in numerical simulations in warming scenarios. Major TCs pose, by far, the greatest threat to lives and property. Between the early and latter halves of the time period, the major TC exceedance probability increases by about 8% per decade, with a 95% CI of 2 to 15% per decade.
And there was an elected member of Congress, a MAGGOT of course, who a few years ago in the middle of winter brought a snowball into Congress to disprove climate change.Its even worse than you imagine.

Looky here, if it doesn't increase the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in Santa Monica, there is NO reason for ANYONE to bother with it.Notice a lack of a cite. Intensity?To understand how global warming is increasing intensity of hurricanes you first have to understand energy.

Or how about NOAA?

Check out this List of hurricanes that have hit California. Under the "climatological statistics" section there's a table of the number of recorded storms affecting California by decade and it has significantly increased since the 1970s. But could one argue that that is just a recording/awareness bias?Looky here, if it doesn't increase the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in Santa Monica, there is NO reason for ANYONE to bother with it.
What TSwizzle may not understand is that naturally occurring greenhouse gases are what makes the suffice of the Earth habitable. Like his comfortable temperature in Santa Monica.
No, it didn't.As insolation increased, atmospheric CO2 decreased to keep temperatures in a range suitable for life.
Not unless you call cyanobacteria and phytoplankton "plants". And frankly, they didn't have us in mind at all when they did it, we owe tham nothing.Obviously we owe a big debt to plants, which converted much of that CO2 to the O2 which animals need.
We aren't, if we don't want to be accused of spouting emotion based twaddle.And this is just one of many problems that Gaia cleverly solved (if we're permitted to use anthropomorphic metaphor).
Horseshit. Gaia has done exactly what all the other gods have ever done - i.e. nothing at all.When the Sun was cooler, Gaia maintained surface warmth for the dinosaurs. But as the Sun's temperature rose, Gaia eventually created glaciers and ice-caps to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth.
