Shit blew my mind like

I know. We should all be like "WTF are we doing!". But we're not.

Did you guys know that like 2 months ago the Great Barrier Coral Reef or whatever died? Yep. We destroyed that too. But we chose to listen to the "Grab them by the pussy" news instead.

And why the fuck didn't you link us?

I assumed you all got the Facebook feed.... hold on

For the second year in a row, the Arctic is facing a late December heat wave (at least by Arctic winter standards). Temperatures are forecast to soar about 50°F above normal, which would bring them near the freezing point at the North Pole.
As isolated data points, the back-to-back winter warm-ups would be weird. But taken in the larger context, it’s part of anunsettling trend for a region that is being rapidly reshaped by climate change.
A quick recap: Arctic sea ice hit its lowest peak recorded in March (besting the record set in 2015), hit it second-lowest extent recorded in September, and started shrinking in November — at a time when ice should be growing — following a heat wave.

It's really taking off now.

Could we have?

Coral bleaching is theorized to be a generalized stress response of corals that may be caused by a number of biotic and abiotic factors, including:

• increased (most commonly due to global warming), or reduced water temperatures[7][8][9][10]
  
• oxygen starvation caused by an increase in zooplankton levels as a result of overfishing[11]
  
• increased solar irradiance (photosynthetically active radiation and ultraviolet light)[12]
  
• increased sedimentation (due to silt runoff)[13]
  
• bacterial infections[14]
  
• changes in salinity[15]
  
• herbicides[16]
  
• low tide and exposure[17]
  
• cyanide fishing[18]
  
• elevated sea levels due to global warming (Watson)[clarification needed]
  
• mineral dust from African dust storms caused by drought[19]
  
• four common sunscreen ingredients, that are nonbiodegradable, and can wash off of skin[20][21][22][23][24]

Sahara droughts?

Solar irradiance?

Low tide?

Wtf could we have done about any of that?

Scientists have been telling us what to do for decades. You refused to believe them and now you just

At least somebody is showing some leadership:

The coral itself isn't bleaching. Endosymbionts (symbiotic organisms that live inside the coral) are dying off, exposing the coral skeleton.
