Is this really about a change to maritime fuels? I’m genuinely curious because the change is extreme.

    It’s nothing to do with maritime fuels - it’s because the sea absorbs a lot of the temperature from the air. This means the air temperature stays lower, but affects marine life.

    It has happened as a direct result of climate change.

    It’s bad. Very bad.

        Ok, to summarise, more heat is going doesn’t into the oceans because the pollution isn’t reflecting it. Got it. But sea temperature rise as a whole is still due to global warming and absorption of heat by the oceans. If the additional heat is being absorbed more by the sea than it was, that’s bad. But it’s bad anyway.

        I’ve said my piece, I’ll leave it to those more knowledgeable to argue further.

    JFC. That’s a 6 day trend too. The graphs for 2023 and 2024 could be seriously scary looking to just about everyone. Not sure it’ll be safe to rely on them as a picture of where we are up to … but seeing drastic change over basically 12 months really hammers the message that things can get bad for us right now.

      Keep in mind El Nino is occurring currently too, and that is contributing to the stark 12 month difference.

      Oh don’t worry because the Republicans plan on stopping any research into that if they win, which will definitely stop anything bad from happening

    Thats… very, very bad.

    Welp, we have definitely blown through the barrier of possibly being able to stop runaway climate change.

    Hooray unavoidable apocalypse!
