I read this today on a news website here in Quebec (Canada) :

"L'océanographe Peter Galbraith, de l'Institut Maurice-Lamontagne, effectue des relevés depuis 15 ans dans ce secteur. Il qualifie de «très exceptionnelle» cette situation.

Le 13 mars dernier, il a enregistré une température de moins 0,5 degré Celcius. Ce relevé hivernal a été mesuré jusqu'à 75 mètres de profondeur, du jamais vu, selon lui."

Translation :

"Institut Maurice-Lamontagne's Oceanographer Peter Galbrait has been studying this sector for the last 15 years. He says this situation is very exxceptionnal. On march 13th, he recorded a temperature of minus 0,5 celsius. This winter reading has been taken at a 75 meters depth. He's never seen something like that".

The temperature of the sea water is rising. The sector he's talking about is "Îles-de-la-Madeleine" (Quebec, Canada). Just by the Gulf Stream !

And then, just before he died, he looked at the sky one last time and he said: "There's only one of us here".
