Random NIN Fact:
La Mer was written by Trent Reznor during a period in which he locked himself in a house by the ocean and seriously considered committing suicide hence the water/sea imagery located throughout The Fragile period. Luckily he did not stick to his actions and he ended up writing La Mer. Back in 2009, Trent finally went back to the house and got married to Mariqueen Maandig there, Trent openly talked about this experience during the 3rd of June 2009 concert in Mansfield, Massachusetts which can be found in this link here.

As the world’s climate changes, ocean warming is accelerating and sea levels are rising more quickly, warns a new report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The report is a synthesis of the most up-to-date climate science on oceans and ice, and it lays out a stark reality: Ocean surface temperatures have been warming steadily since 1970, and for the past 25 years or so, they’ve been warming twice as fast.
Sea levels are also rising increasingly quickly “due to increasing rates of ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets,” the report states.
“For me, it’s the complete picture that’s kind of surprising and, frankly, concerning,” says Ko Barrett, vice-chair of the U.N. panel and the deputy assistant administrator for research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the U.S. “This is, in some ways, a report about water. Water is the lifeblood of the planet.”
The report also discusses a relatively new phenomenon in the oceans: marine heat waves.
