While effects of ocean warming are well known, sometimes changes in the patterns of winds and ocean currents cause sea water to suddenly cool. When these conditions persist for several days or weeks, the area experiences a "coldwave". When South Africa's south east coast was affected by a "killer coldwave", it killed over hundreds of animals across atleast 81 species. This phenomenon is putting vulnerable manta rays and even specimens of notoriously robust migratory bull sharks in danger.

Peatlands store twice as much carbon as the world’s forests. In a healthy bog, the waterlogged conditions prevent plant material from fully decomposing, so rather than releasing CO2, the greenhouse gas is trapped in the ground. About 11% of peatlands globally have been modified and drained. These degraded wetlands cover less than 0.4% of the Earth’s land area but are responsible for 5% of human-caused emissions — more than aviation
