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.

    Since every evolutionary era, when devastation then a rise of life occured, the new life forms were more advanced than the previous.

    It’s likely that whatever life develops after we’re gone will find more ecologically-sound ways to progress than we did. And that’s a good thing, cause we were for shit at it.
