Earth's Oceans are Storing Record-Breaking Amounts of Heat

 According to the article, Earth’s oceans are storing record-breaking amounts of heat, oceans are storing a significant amount of heat that is beginning to become uncontrollable. Even though the pandemic caused shut-downs that decreased the amount of greenhouse gas being put into the air, the globe continued to keep warming. Researchers found that last year, the total amount of heat stored in the ocean was the highest it has ever been since 1955. This rapid rise of ocean temperatures is significant because as it rises, ice begins to melt in the oceans, causing storms to supercharge and raise ocean levels. Researchers also say that this will continue to increase if we don't try to reduce carbon emissions. I think that there might be something more than human pollution causing this to happen because the article said that it still began to rise even during the pandemic.

    This is interesting to think about because if humans decreased their release of greenhouse gases during the pandemic, why did the global warming still occur. I'd be interested to know by how much it rose and what other factors scientists are looking into that may cause global warming.

    This is such an intriguing topic! I find that the ocean is storing heat. However this is scary as well. With the growing struggle of global warming, I hope that the ocean doesn't produce too much heat. There are so many animals and life that thrives in the cold water and climate. I hope the water stays safe for those organisms.

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future? And how will it impact future in sciences? We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
