Knee-jerk alarm goes up yet another notch in the climate-obsessed media. Look what *you\u2019ve done*, they try to insinuate.<\/em>
\u2013 \u2013 \u2013
Climate change is benefiting life in the oceans so much that ocean color is becoming noticeably greener as a result, scientists reported this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodies of water with little life tend to be bluer, the scientists observed, while bodies of water rich in life tend to be greener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to the wonderful news about the recent burst of ocean life, the media have instead sounded a breathless alarm leading people to believe that climate change making the oceans greener is bad,\u00a0says Climate Realism (via Climate Change Dispatch)<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 13, the media acted in concert to inundate people with fear that climate change is \u201cliterally changing the ocean\u2019s color.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sample of the article titles include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate Change Is Literally Changing the Ocean\u2019s Color\u201d \u2013 The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorld\u2019s oceans changing color due to climate breakdown, study suggests\u201d \u2013 The Guardian<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate change is making our oceans change color, new research finds\u201d \u2013 CNN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOceans are changing color, likely due to climate change, researchers find\u201d \u2013 CBS News<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate Change Is Getting So Bad that the Ocean Is Changing Color\u201d \u2013 The Byte<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searching dozens of media articles reporting on the new study, Climate Realism could not find a single article with a title mentioning green oceans mean more life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lead sentence of the CNN article reads, \u201cThe color of the ocean has changed significantly over the last 20 years and human-caused climate change is likely responsible, according to a new study.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only later in the article \u2013 for people who bother to read that far down \u2013 is the explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe color of the ocean is derived from the materials found in its upper layers. For example, a deep blue sea will have very little life in it, whereas a green color means there are ecosystems there, based on phytoplankton, plant-like microbes that contain chlorophyll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe phytoplankton forms the basis of a food web, which supports larger organisms such as krill, fish, seabirds and marine mammals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
