Or M. Bialik<p>A lot of times, when I discuss <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/marine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/paleotemperature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paleotemperature</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ocean</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FutureTemperatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FutureTemperatures</span></a>, I use the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Mediterranean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mediterranean</span></a> as a reference for what those temperatures mean for things like plankton, deep water generation, or mineral preference.<br>Every year, that reference is getting warmer, and now it hit a new record.</p>
