The Claire Byrne Show · Going Green: What is causing our seas to get so warm? · 20 Aug 2026 podcast

Warmer oceans can provide additional heat and um moisture, so it'll affect not only the fish, but potentially our weather as well.

Maybe in primary school where you put the glass of water on the window ledge and you put a line and after a while it evaporates and goes down, you see it down.

Really nice classic experiments.

That's what happens in the sea.

When it's warmer, there's more water vapor in the air, which means that there's more chance of that then to precipitate and come down.

The weather is also causing this as well because you're looking at there's less currents, there's areas of high pressure.

So the weather in itself is already hotter as well.

So then you've more weather uh water and in the air.

So we're like a small island sitting on the very large Atlantic weather machine.

So w the weather kind of just can will continue uh around us, but we're looking at kind of more things in the air and you have more stuff in the air when we're more water, uh more temperature.

things will move around a lot, we're likely to have larger weather events more often.

So it could mean more kind of rain.

But the long the kind of the base kind of thing of chain with this is sea temperature affects ecosystem, affects fish, affects fisheries, affects food, affects jobs, affects weather.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

And the sea is like one of our big is the biggest carbon sink.

So it takes all the carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Now

Oh like we can't rely on that indefinitely.
