Is the ocean broken?

It will all be forgotten after a few palms get greased.

 

I am in a cynical mood of late.

 

Sarcastic too.

 

Don't do that Hoyt, you hurt Sam and me, there's no need for that !

 

Sorry.

 

OK Hoyt, thanks, and accepted, hope Sam won't grind any axes either.

 

i don't like all the marine life and birds getting covered in oil.

 

Theoretical Physicists Say 90% Chance of Societal Collapse Within Several Decades

If we continue destroying and degrading the world’s forests, Earth will no longer be able to sustain a large human population, according to a peer-reviewed paper published this May in Nature Scientific Reports.

"In conclusion our model shows that a catastrophic collapse in human population, due to resource consumption, is the most likely scenario of the dynamical evolution based on current parameters…. we conclude from a statistical point of view that the probability that our civilization survives itself is less than 10 percent in the most optimistic scenario. Calculations show that, maintaining the actual rate of population growth and resource consumption, in particular forest consumption, we have a few decades left before an irreversible collapse of our civilization.”

 

Humans don't like to bath in oil either, as it's unhealthy and unpleasant for them, and it's against the Golden Rule to do so to others.

‘‘ The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as you want to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in many religions and cultures. . . . . ’’

Climate Change Is Killing East Coast Forests
As the salty Atlantic Ocean pushes farther inland, forests are turning to marsh. Some scientists want to speed the transition.

Mar 1, 2020

 

Here we go again. The Canadian Shield is still in the process of lifting after having been pushed down by the ice cap from the last ice age. As the northern part rises back up the southern part drops back down. The Carolinas are not unaffected.

According to the map shown in the Wikipedia article you referenced, the Carolinas are currently not affected by post-glacial rebound.

A model of present-day mass change due to post-glacial rebound and the reloading of the ocean basins with seawater. Blue and purple areas indicate rising due to the removal of the ice sheets. Yellow and red areas indicate falling as mantle material moved away from these areas in order to supply the rising areas, and because of the collapse of the forebulges around the ice sheets.​

That was mentioned amongst a lot more . I forgot to add the source...

Climate Change Is Killing East Coast Forests https://www.the-scientist.com/features/climate-change-is-killing-east-coast-forests-67149

Around the globe, sea level has been rising since the peak of the last Ice Age, about 20,000 years ago, as a result of melting glaciers adding water to Earth’s oceans. “These marshes in the heart of the Blackwater River have been building elevation in response to [that] sea level rise for almost a thousand years,” Whitbeck says. But now the marshes can’t keep up. In addition to the continued melting of the world’s remaining glaciers, which are disappearing faster than ever, the mid-Atlantic region is sinking, causing it to experience sea level rise at a rate three to four times faster than the rest of the terrestrial world. Artificially raising the marshes “puts the plant community back in that sweet spot,” Whitbeck says, “so hopefully we can get a few more decades out of them rather than just a few years.” This strategy, he notes, could be applied to the countless marshes in the Chesapeake Bay and elsewhere that are “drowning in place.”

 

It looks like they are to me.
