Climate Change Could Cause Mass Exodus of Tropical Plankton

Earth’s current biosphere evolved for ice ages of the last 8 million years. Modern plankton biodiversity in the tropics is a surprisingly recent development and the result of 8 million years of global cooling. A study, published in the journal Nature, raises concerns that rapid ocean warming could force the plankton to move away from the tropics, which would negatively affect ocean ecosystems, including those of important fish such as tuna and billfish, and coastal communities that depend on them.

Since you've hijacked this thread with your climate garbage, I might as well counter with this:

What if we cleaned up the way we treat the earths biosphere, ocean ecosystems and the food we eat?
But there was no global warming after all.
Would all that work have just gone to waste?

Ha ha ha ha, Nice. Why not just behave well because it's the right way to behave? Maybe we should actually be who we think we should be. Damn the climate science.

Earth’s oceans are showing early and surprising record warming

Around mid-March, ocean-temperature monitoring data shows that average surface water temperatures surpassed 21 degrees Celsius (about 70 degrees Fahrenheit) around the globe, excluding polar waters, for the first time since at least 1981, when the data set originated. That is warmer than what scientists observed at this time of year in 2016, when a strong El Niño drove the planet to record warmth.

The current coronal hole represents a cool spot on the Sun's surface. These coronal holes throw out solar winds. Solar winds have little effect upon Earth, other than to have a visual effect on the upper atmosphere. However, we are entering a more active period with more likelihood of coronal mass ejections; more than usual energy coming of the Sun. Our atmosphere and surface temperatures are directly effected by the Sun's radiant energy. We could experience higher than normal temperatures over this time of hyper-solar activity.

While CMEs certainly do affect electrical equipment, it's not clear that they significantly heat the Earth.

Researchers dial in to 'thermostat' in Earth’s upper atmosphere

"Solar storms can cause dramatic change in the temperatures of the upper atmosphere, including the ionosphere, which ranges from about 30 miles in altitude to about 600 miles high – the edge of space. While CME material slamming into Earth’s atmosphere can cause temperature spikes of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit, the nitric oxide created by the energy infusion can subsequently cool it by about 930 F, said Knipp."
 
Global Warming Could Drive Pulses of Ice Sheet Retreat Reaching 2,000 Feet Per Day

A new study of the seafloor near the coast of northern Norway brings an ominous warning from the past, showing that some of the planet’s ice sheets retreated in pulses of nearly 2,000 feet per day as the oceans warmed at the end of the last ice age.

The Scandinavian ice sheet that created the ridges identified by the new study is long gone, but preconditions for similar melt events—a rapidly warming ocean and a relatively smooth seafloor—exist around parts of Antarctica, including close to the vulnerable Thwaites Glacier.

The rate of retreat measured by the new study was not sustained over years or decades, but occurred in daily or monthly pulses, which shows that ice sheets respond to global warming in a non-linear way.

“It’s probably likely, in my opinion, that this rapid buoyancy driven course of retreat could be all that’s needed to set in motion a chain of events that spirals into a more runaway style of retreat,” co-author Frazer Christie said.

It's not the CMEs, it's the higher energetic activity of the Sun that cause the CMEs. The Sun is more active because it is going through a high energy cycle and that puts out more radiant energy, including CMEs, but not only.

Our surface temperatures are directly affected by the energy coming off the Sun. If it wasn't, CO2 levels wouldn't make a difference, because it is solar light energy that CO2 supposedly traps.

Is the Sun causing global warming?
temperature_vs_solar_activity_2021.png


The above graph compares global surface temperature changes (red line) and the Sun's energy received by Earth (yellow line) in watts (units of energy) per square meter since 1880. The lighter/thinner lines show the yearly levels while the heavier/thicker lines show the 11-year average trends. Eleven-year averages are used to reduce the year-to-year natural noise in the data, making the underlying trends more obvious.

The amount of solar energy Earth receives has followed the Sun’s natural 11-year cycle of small ups and downs with no net increase since the 1950s. Over the same period, global temperature has risen markedly. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the Sun has caused the observed global temperature warming trend over the past half-century.
