Summer of 2026 brought nasty climate concoctions – immediate, unpredictable and destructive of our way of life – that are becoming normal. Their victims will be all of us, in some way or other.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.
