How Climate Change Is Unravelling the Earth’s Memory
Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.
When the Ocean Forgets is a book I wrote not just as a scientist, but as someone deeply concerned, and deeply moved by what’s happening to our planet.
The idea behind this book started with a question that wouldn’t leave me: what if the ocean doesn’t just respond to climate change — what if it remembers it? And what happens if it starts to forget?
The ocean has long acted as Earth’s great stabiliser. Its layers of warmth, salt, and movement store vast amounts of energy and information, guiding weather systems, regulating heat, and connecting distant corners of the planet through powerful currents. But as warming accelerates, this memory is starting to erode. The ocean is becoming more stratified, less able to circulate, and increasingly silent in the ways it used to speak to the rest of the world.
This book weaves together climate science, system dynamics, and traditional ecological knowledge to explore what that loss of memory really means for weather, for resilience, for civilisation itself. It’s not a book of despair, though. It’s an invitation: to listen more closely, to think differently about resilience, and to see our connection with the ocean not as distant or abstract, but immediate and vital.
I wrote this for those who are curious about the deeper stories beneath climate change, for readers who care about science, but also about meaning, memory, and the wisdom of nature.
Thank you for reading. I hope this book stays with you.
