James Brady+FollowBlue Whales Are Ghosting Sri Lanka?!Blue whales are basically vanishing from Sri Lanka’s coast, and scientists are freaking out. Warmer ocean temps (the fastest-warming ocean on Earth, btw), pollution, and noisy ships are making these gentle giants bail for cooler, quieter waters. Just a few years ago, there were hundreds of sightings—now, barely any. It’s a wild reminder that our actions are seriously messing with the planet’s biggest creatures. Maybe they’ll come back if things cool down, but for now, it’s looking bleak. #BlueWhales #OceanWarming #ClimateChange #Science220Share
megangibson+FollowOcean Hotspots You Didn’t See ComingDid you know our oceans aren’t heating up evenly? Scientists just found that waters off Japan, the US, New Zealand, and Argentina are warming way faster than anywhere else—especially around 40° north and south. It’s not just surface temps, but deep ocean heat that’s spiking, thanks to climate change and shifting winds. No wonder hurricane seasons have been wild lately! Wild to think how these ocean hotspots could shake up weather everywhere. #ClimateChange #OceanWarming #ScienceNews #WeatherWatch #Science20Share
