Our oceans’ colors are changing, and its rising temperature spells bad news for the planet.
John,
Here at SEEC PAC, we’re not ones to live by horoscopes. But when our climate’s mood ring changes colors, we take notice.
Over the last two decades, researchers have been closely monitoring changes to our oceans’ hues, and they’ve concluded that over 56 percent of the world’s oceans have changed colors to such an extent that it cannot be explained by natural causes.
The culprit? You guessed it: human-caused climate change.
As temperatures in the atmosphere rise, our oceans naturally warm up, too. And when our oceans get warmer, nutrient transfer from deeper seas to surface waters screeches to a halt.
Without these deep sea nutrients, phytoplankton populations (a.k.a. the foundation of the aquatic food web and a major source of oxygen to our atmosphere) drastically decline, leading to a massive kink in our planet’s internal cooling system — and a noticeable change to our oceans’ colors.
John, we experienced some of the hottest days on record back in July. Now, 2023 is well on its way to becoming the Earth’s warmest year, and it’s only getting worse from here. That is, unless we elect a green majority in 2024.
Thanks to your help in 2022, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 118th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustainable future. But if you'd like to receive fewer emails, we understand. You can click here to only get our most important messages, or you can unsubscribe.
The Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition Political Action Committee (SEEC PAC) is an organization that supports members in the U.S. House of Representatives and candidates who fight for clean energy, climate change solutions, environmental justice, and protection of our nation’s clean air, water, wildlife, and public lands.
