🌊🌡️The North Pacific is in a marine heatwave with much of the basin at record warmth.
As heat-trapping, carbon pollution warms our planet, the ocean takes the hit: about 90% of the excess heat ends up in its surface waters.

Extreme heat doesn’t just worsen air quality, disrupt sleep, or fuel wildfires. It can also accelerate your biological aging.
A new study found that just two years of heat wave exposure can age you by 8–12 extra days.
