Ocean effects actually scare me more than climate change. A huge percentage of the world depends on the ocean for food and it’s foundational to the health of the biosphere. The Earth has been warmer in the past but sudden ocean acidification is a different matter.

- silverquiet 2y agoI don't think it's all that logical to try and separate ocean effects from climate change; they are part of the climate after all. Dying of heat stroke in a wet bulb event scares me the most personally, but that might be because of the part of the world I live in.
