Been working on marine heatwaves for over 10 years now and always thought they would never be ecologically impactful in the cool waters around uk and ireland but this is unprecedented and possibly devastating
One of the most severe marine heatwaves on Earth has developed off the coast of Ireland and the UK, with water temperatures as high as 4-5°C above normal. NOAA's Marine Heatwave Watch has categorized this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.

Fire Facts from a Boreal 🔥 Ecologist to help you understand what is really going on in Canada. Fire Fact 1: The term “forest fire” is misleading in boreal regions. Also burning are peatlands and permafrost ecosystems, which store LOTS of ancient carbon. 1/
Helicopter view of the current forest fire in Canada approximately 10 hectares of trees are in flames !!! Pray for everyone’s safety fighting these fires!
