It is “too late to stop ocean warming in this century because ocean response” is so slow, warned Cheng. Water stores a lot a heat, so its temperature fluctuates much more gradually. But, she said, we can slow the rate of warming if we “act as soon as possible to reduce carbon emission.”

Really scary. Why I have a problem with those who say green new deal will never fly. And then there is the shit for brains, potus who withdrew us from the Paris Climate Agreement so we are now on the leading edge of screening over generations to come.

Accepting that global warming is going to continue the question must become 'how to mitigate the consequences' - so buy a house and land well above sea level in an area away from weather extremes
