Stephan:   The bad news comes in almost daily, but the corporate world seems to be incapable of dealing with its greed addiction, and since corruption is so rampant politicians just stand around spewing nonsense. Even worse about a third of the United States population routinely vote against their own wellbeing, so the politicians are not held to account.

The world’s oceans have been warming for generations, a trend that is accelerating and threatens to fuel more supercharged storms, devastate marine ecosystems and upend the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, according to a new scientific analysis.

Published this week in the journal Nature Reviews, it finds that the upper reaches of the oceans — roughly the top 2,000 meters, or just over a mile — have been heating up around the planet since at least the 1950s, with the most stark changes observed in the Atlantic and Southern oceans.

The authors of the review, who include scientists from China, France, the United States and Australia, write that data shows the heating has both accelerated over time and increasingly has reached deeper and deeper depths.

The officers quarters and the rest of the Navy base are flooded annually.
