The ocean is burning, and we are looking elsewhere – Tahrir

Sea heat waves, devastating to biodiversity and at the origin of extreme weather events, remind us of the urgent need to bring science back to the village center, where political decision-making takes place.

“What is so frustrating for a researcher is seeing everything that has been projected in climate models for thirty or forty years come true.” So he speaks in launch, Kathryn Gendel is a researcher at the National Research Committee’s Laboratory of Geophysics and Oceanography. She comments to our specialist on the insane numbers that have been measuring sea waves for a few weeks. The bottom line: the oceans are boiling, particularly the North Atlantic. The general public of France realized last summer that huge fires on the ground would also occur in our regions which have long been called temperate zones. And this year he will have to learn about these huge water fires with disastrous consequences. For there is evidently no cause for joy in being able, in June, in the north of Brittany, to dip your big toe, and then the rest, without shaking your ass for half an hour.

Marine heatwaves are devastating to biodiversity, modifying the movements of some species, and causing storms, hurricanes and other hurricanes. Above all, they fuel the infernal cycle of global warming as the regulator role of the oceans is perturbed. We understand the whistleblower’s gloom: the ocean is burning and we’re looking elsewhere. Therefore, there is an urgent need to bring science back to the center of the village, where political decision-making takes place. Emmanuel Macron has, rightly, regularly insisted, during the COVID-19 period, the importance of trusting science. Fighting climate change requires just as much. Without blindness, but firmly. Unfortunately, the head of state often gives the impression that he forgets his own recommendations, and puts this principle in the drawer, far, far from restrictions, speeches and short-term economic lobbying companies. Damage. For if researcher Katherine Gendel’s sentence is truly depressing, her profound message is also a source of hope.
