🌡️ The ocean is likely the hottest it has been for at least 1000 yrs, & heating faster than at any time in the past 2000 yrs

The extra heat is intensifying climate disasters, causing heavier floods, worse storms, longer marine heatwaves & rising sea levels🔽

Oil spills, & spills of 'produced water' seething with polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) & heavy metals, can cause terrible harm to sea creatures, including damage to lungs & eyes, birds unable to fly as their feathers clog with oil:

Many landfills were made before regulations that required sites to be lined or filtration systems in place to prevent harmful chemicals seeping from them. They contain materials nobody knew were harmful at the time, such as cancer causing PFOA, or lead paint.

Current & historic landfills across the UK & Europe are sited near rivers, on coasts, in flood risk zones, explains @profkatespencer.bsky.social - climate change means extreme rainfall events & flooding are happening more often, increasing risk of pollutants entering waterways.

💡 Invasion #impacts extend far beyond ecology.

They span #ecological, #economic, and #socio-cultural domains, often simultaneously—yet are shaped by data gaps, confounding factors, scale, and stakeholder values.

Our framework shows why “impact” is never a single, simple number.
