The overall SOMOC may weaken in the future, but we don't know this for sure.

The upper cell of the SOMOC may have strengthened while the lower cell of the SOMOC has most likely weakened.

The surface Southern Ocean has gotten saltier. We can detect this from space!

While it is wonderful to see a cartoon in the Guardian talking about Antarctica, the science is badly misrepresented!

Why not? Plenty of European Geophysical Union journals follow a similar model and I’ve found it to work really well.

I love your sea ice visualisations! Sorry to hear about the attacks on science and humanities!

Funnily enough, I found hope from reading Merchants of Doubt by Oreskes. Mainly because I learned that we can definitely take action, if the people who are lying to us that we cannot get out of the way!

Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy reading the issue that we have put together for you!

We will feature two more stories from ECRs working on ocean warming in the coming months, stay tuned!

Saranya JS, a doctoral candidate at Seoul National University, talks about her work on marine heatwaves and how she uses art to communicate science to diverse audiences.

Svenja Ryan from WHOI shares insights into her research, spanning the Antarctic, Gulf Stream, and North Atlantic. She also discusses her collaboration with artist Deb Ehrens, who has created stunning sculptures inspired by oceanic processes.

Merchants of doubt, though enraging, also gave me hope! We can do so much if we stop listening to the lies generated by the fossil fuel industry!

I hope bsky doesn’t go through the enshittification cycle eventually 🫣

Thanks for sharing that! I’m at the crossroads now and will have to soon make a decision!

Oh thank you Manuel! I love all the observations that our friendly seals have enabled!
