The average daily global sea surface temperature beat a 2016 record this week, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus.

It reached 20.96C. That’s far above the average for this time of year.

    No previous life form based its expansion on oil like we did. And no previous life, in its unfathomable diversity, was even close to prior ones in shape, form or ability.

    Why would you think that a future intelligent form would turn out like us and base its existence on fossil fuels?

      Basic evolutionary and technological processes, I guess. Combustible fuels are the simplest step a species can take.

        Since every evolutionary era, when devastation then a rise of life occured, the new life forms were more advanced than the previous.

        It’s likely that whatever life develops after we’re gone will find more ecologically-sound ways to progress than we did. And that’s a good thing, cause we were for shit at it.
