Scientists say the world’s oceans are warming far more quickly than previously thought, a finding with dire implications for climate change because almost all the excess heat absorbed by the planet ends up stored in their waters.

A new analysis, published Thursday in the journal Science, found that the oceans are heating up 40 percent faster on average than a United Nations panel estimated five years ago. The researchers also concluded that ocean temperatures have broken records for several straight years.

    LGBT is an acronym of reasonable length. LGBTQIA+ is an abuse of acronyms. At that point, you may as well resign yourself to explaining the entire thing every time you talk to someone about it. Or better yet, just nip it in the bud and settle on LGBT+. The problem is that there's a bunch of easily offended people who want the way they feel to be officially recognized. It's pretty easy to tell, if someone has red hair or blue eyes. Expecting for people to just know that you're a Q instead of a T is unrealistic. That would be like expecting everyone to know that I don't have green eyes, they're actually seagreen which is more blue than green, or that my eyes are actually henna, not hazel. Even that would be easier to tell at a glance than someone who's sexual identity doesn't match their physical appearance.

    Also, those that actually care, don't disrespect others, because of personal beliefs, etc. Disrespect should be reserved for those that actually deserve it. When someone calls all conservatives "Literally Hitler," it shows that they have no idea what they're talking about. It also shows that they don't care about anyone who disagrees with them. That can be just as much of a problem as any perceived or actual problem.
