Ocean warming : Should we be worried? Relationship with global warming and Climate change

[@arupmandal9963]

We are already on uncharted territory.

Yes.. That is the concern...

I blame anyone who keeps on burning fossil fuels. It is cheaper to use alternatives. No sanity to keep burning, when alternative is cleaner and more cost effect. And that emission part is raising cost globally around 1 trillion per year. Last year had over 50 billion dollar disasters (where billion is minimum, not maximum). These costs are only rising with temperature. For developing country this is extremely bad, because worsening climate driven disasters makes living and working conditions ever worse. Also air pollution kills locally huge amounts of people, see Indian cities for example. Air pollution only kills around 10 million people per year. Also losing mountain glaciers will hit many locations on Earth, including runoffs from Himalayas, Andies, Rocky mountains, Alps and se on. And same goes for sea level rise. 12-20 meters of sea level rise by 2300 at 2C temperature rise will make most coasts and lowlands unlivable. This include countries like Bangladesh, island nations, and multiple other coastal and inland areas. At current acceleration rates sea level may rise 3 meters by the end of century (decadal rise is around 1,5 -> 4,77mm/yr*1,5^7,5 -> ~100mm/per year by 2100 and 3 meter rise overall... with decadal counting...). Also dependency on fossil fuels creates wars on vanishing resources. Ie. Iran can cut of Persian Gulf oil exports and then we head to the war. Oil prices would jump to far beyond current levels. So why would we keep on relying on this fossil insanity? China has understood this and is planting more and more solar panels and windmills. Other countries should install as much as they need too.

I agree with your point.. But what about the CO2 emitters historically? I mean the period when the industrialization starts. Why some countries are enjoying development and their emitted CO2 is responsible for developing countries' climate disaster.

@@ChemistryTheMysteryofMolecules Yea, historical emissions matters too. And after we shutdown fossil burning, the countries that have emitted most carbon should be forced to make enough negative emissions so planets climate settles down. There is serious difference on these emissions. What we emit now is worsening the climate disaster rapidly. Historical emissions are the background for this disaster. Most rapid thing you can do is to stop things getting worse. Then you may patch up and make things better. Also we should allow climate migration too to save lives and livelihoods. Currently we are heading toward very different direction. Also noting that births in many developed countries have been going down. If we take refugees from other nations will we be teaching them to consume as much as we do? This leads to more emissions, even while the original population is on the decline. Often this leads to social problems too. And the teaching to consume has been flushed all around the world. If I could order something, I would begin with banning all ads. Just second one would be adding green energy and storaging. Third one would be banning all fossil burning. Overconsumption is far greater threat than just one corner of it. Even one corner, like climate change, is enough to bring us near extinction.
