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.

Dr Samantha Burgess, from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, says March should be when the oceans globally are warmest, not August.

"The fact that we've seen the record now makes me nervous about how much warmer the ocean may get between now and next March," she says.

By March El Nino will be in full swing. 2024 is going to be a very sad year for life on Earth.

Remember when fossil fuel company scientists discovered their industry was warming the earth at an alarming rate? They predicted the end of humanity as we know it if we didn't stop? And now people are seriously arguing the more proven science?

The most surprising thing to me here, is that I'm looking at a scuba diver writing on what appears to be a piece of paper on a clipboard.

Neato! It really is just a piece of (waterproof) paper on a clipboard – and you write on the clipboard, too – and with just a regular graphite pencil. I can't say I've ever given much thought to how one might write underwater in that situation, but if I had, I would've guessed some sort of waterproof tablet. But it's cool to see that sometimes the basics work better.

On the plus side, we don’t need to buy hot tubs anymore, so we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

I'm glad someone can always look on the bright side.

Just remember to recycle kids.

Corporations did this. Meanwhile the guilt goes onto the regular Joe.
