Disappearance of Cold Pacific Water Alarms Scientists

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that for the first time on record, the annual cold-water upwell in the Gulf of Panama failed to occur. The phenomenon, usually 10°C cooler than surface waters, is vital for marine ecosystems, providing nutrient-rich waters that sustain fisheries and wildlife. McIntyre highlighted scientists’ alarm, as the disappearance poses serious risks to marine life and food security.
