Extreme claims like "That the sea will become a killer is a given." require extreme evidence yet nothing is cited.

Overly alarmist article from 2017 lacking actual substance.


This seems, at best, a misunderstanding of the statement and at worst disingenuous. Firstly, if the sea kills one person, it’s a “killer”. But the article goes on at some length to explain the massive impact changes in the sea will have on human and fish life.


So what realistically can we do?


Move to cooler parts of the world.


Elect politicians who will implement carbon taxes?
