This is ridiculous. The temperature readings from Challenger are of no use in any scientific enquiry. They are talking about 260 sets of data points, separated by what amount of time? What time of year? Based on what accuracy of the readings? If they’d taken a reading at the height of el-nino we might now be reading that ocean temps had dropped significantly. Oh wait. No we wouldn’t. It doesn’t fit the neo-luddite narrative.
