>Helena Horton's opening sentence in this report is a model of how journalists should write about climate change, informing us not only of what's happening, but why it's happening

Not sure I agree that's what she has done?

Those are symptoms of our actions so they deserve some mention of course but if she'd said the ocean is heating from the deliberate policy choices of governments the majority elected (poor acess to public and alternate transport etc) and the everyday high emitting lifestyles of the worlds wealthiest 10% then I'd say yes, that's how journalists (not scinetiests) should write about it.

It's NOT being communicated that this destruction is wrought by deliberate policy choices and the actions of a small minority. To have any chance we have to leverage action againt them by how you vote to force them to stop destroying us all. The top 1% have double the emissions of the bottom 50%, that's who is causing this!

nostr:npub1fk2jyjkty3uqe9mz4seppedsvgzrsutztj0favz0u5gxrhlypehs4v5l0c As Helena Horton says clearly and succinctly to open and frame her report, “The surface temperature of the world’s oceans has hit its highest ever level as climate breakdown from burning fossil fuels causes the oceans to heat."

Would that all journalists reporting on global warming state clearly that “climate breakdown from burning fossil fuels causes the oceans to heat."
