"THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS."
Off the Charts
Scientists are
alarmed
as ocean surface temperatures have continuously set new record-breaking highs over the last month.
According to data analyzed by the University of Maine's
Climate Change Institute,
daily ocean surface temperatures breached historical record highs
since at least 1982
in April.
That means we are in
uncharted territory
as global warming continues to take its toll with extreme weather events becoming more common by the year — and scientists are
clearly shaken
by the
spiking
temperatures.
"This is getting ridiculous," physicist and climate change expert Rober Rohde tweeted. "For the last month [the daily index] has been continuously reading higher than in any previous year and still shows no sign of settling."
All Rise
But others argued such a rise should be expected at this point.
"While it is comforting to see that the models work, it is
terrifying,
of course, to see climate change happening in real life," replied Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution biogeochemist Jens Terhaar. "We are in it and it is just the beginning."
It's part of a greater,
worrying
trend. A study published last month in the journal Earth System Science Data found that our planet accumulated almost as much heat in the past 15 years as it had in the previous 45, a
worrying
sign that we're in for considerable rises in global temperatures.
Worse yet, we're still not entirely sure why this is even occurring.
"It's not yet well established, why such a rapid change, and such a huge change is happening," Karina Von Schuckmann, the lead author of the study, told the BBC.
Setting New Records
The previous ocean surface temperature record was set in 2016 during an El Niño, ScienceAlert reports, a weather pattern associated with a warm band of ocean water developing in the Pacific.
This year's El Niño, however, will kick off at a much higher starting point, as
Axios
points out, which means we could see similar climate events accelerating going forward.
"2023 is off to an
alarming
start, even before El Niño conditions fully develop later this year," Kim Cobb, a climate scientist at
Brown University
, told Axios, adding that "new record will
likely
be surpassed in a matter of years."

Sure is.
Cult propaganda in overdrive.
this is from PLANNED oil spills on the ocean.
PLANNED oil spills to ruin the environment.
People get paid for this rubbish?
At least the article mentions this:
“Worse yet, we’re still not entirely sure why this is even occurring.”
They need better charts.
I am looking forward to eventually having ocean front property once the sea water levels raise high enough to reach me at my 1500’ elevation. According to AOC that should be very soon.
Maybe their beloved government can take huge ice cubes and dump them in the ocean to control the situation. Ridiculous is right.
Hysteria overtakes the climate fascists. Goebbels would be so proud that his lessons were taken to heart and applied so assiduously.
Poor positioning of temperature recording devices, and total oblivion to the well-developed science of how water, water vapor, and ice play into the thermodynamics of temperature regulation of the entire planet. These people are not only nuts, they were poorly trained in the nuances of how to be a crackpot. Crackpots start with something at least plausible.
Some dataset beat a 1982 record? This has to confirm the models that predicted runaway heat? ....and this is science...and not hype right?
At the end, it turns out that Gilligan had been innocently shifting the temperature sensor closer and closer to a sewage outlet which had been spewing warm sewage into the ocean, thus screwing with the Professor's readings!
Regards,
That means we are in
uncharted territory
Lol! Yeah, most of the history of the oceans would come under that heading.
Astounding, isn’t it.
Didn’t AlGore tell us the oceans will be boiling?
Meanwhile, nobody at the beach, no fisherman, no normal person notices a single thing. Sounds horrifying.
“People get paid for this rubbish?”
The higher the pile of toxic waste the more they get paid!
More climate chickens running without their heads. Oh, the fear mantra!
