In many of the world's oceans the disease Vibrio bacteria, is starting to replicate. The Vibrio bacteria is a deadly disease that gives the victim diarrehea, and nausea. and eventually can lead to death. Poor water quality may be to blame for this problem.

Since this cloud cover has a cooling effect on the climate, the two-degree warming target may therefore be reached earlier than many models have predicted.
