And to give you an idea of the size of this anomaly, basically spans the entire North Pacific basin, stretching nearly 8,000 kilometers from Japan to the west coast of North America. That's 5,000 miles, right? That's a huge, that's a big area. So very, very warm water sitting in this area. And scientists are basically, they believe at this point in time that this is a direct result of anthropogenic climate change. That's what it seems to, the consensus seems to be there's like a 90%, they believe that 90% of this is being induced by anthropogenic climate change. Again, they're still working on the exact factors that are leading to this. Since that area is a bit of a data hole, so the best we have to use is satellite data, which isn't always the greatest. It's nice to have boys everywhere, but of course, that's a big dead zone, so we don't have boys everywhere. The marine impacts, they're a little concerning. The warm water is less nutrient rich, and that basically causes a cascade of ecological effects. Let me drop it.
