The persistence of record-high global ocean surface temperatures for over a year has left scientists puzzled and concerned, as they grapple with understanding the driving forces behind this unprecedented trend.

 

As of March 14, global ocean surface temperatures have consistently remained at record highs for a full year, raising alarms among researchers and environmental experts. This prolonged period of warmth has not only impacted marine environments but has also had significant ramifications for weather patterns on land, exacerbating flooding events and contributing to damaging marine heatwaves.

 

While the development of a strong El Niño event in the tropical Pacific Ocean in 2023 was expected to result in milder ocean and air temperatures, the extent and duration of the record warmth have surpassed initial projections. El Niño events typically lead to warmer waters in the equatorial tropical Pacific and can influence atmospheric heat transfer. However, scientists emphasize that El Niño alone cannot account for the magnitude and persistence of the observed temperature anomalies.

 

Brian McNoldy, a senior researcher at the University of Miami, expressed astonishment at the unprecedented nature of the temperature records, noting the significant margins by which they have been broken. While El Niño may have contributed to the warming, McNoldy suggests that other factors are likely at play.

 

Looking ahead, there are no indications of a cooldown in global ocean temperatures in the near future, despite the potential development of a La Niña event in the tropical Pacific. While day-to-day variability may offer temporary reprieves, the overarching trend points towards continued warmth and its associated impacts on marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

 

The persistence of record warmth in global oceans underscores the complexity of Earth's climate system and highlights the need for further research to better understand the underlying mechanisms driving these phenomena. As scientists continue to study and monitor ocean temperatures, policymakers and stakeholders must remain vigilant in addressing the challenges posed by climate change and its far-reaching consequences.

So much for the posters that have been telling us that science knows everything about climate change.

 

That deserves another

Wake me up when it cools, defying explanation. Science has never claimed to know everything about climate change other than it's real, unlike what you believe.

Try reading what I said and not making stuff up.

Point out where I said science claims to know everything about climate change, but you can't, as I didn't say that.

There are lots of areas where science doesn't know everything.

 

On the other hand, science Deniers are clueless about just about everything. Except how to collect money from the oil companies.

We are all going to die in 2010, make it 2020, make it 2030, heck i dont know

That's not the position of Science. You are attacking a straw man.

 

I can remember when the scientific consensus, some 40 years ago, was that the planet was going to warm. The Deniers claimed there would be no warming, or maybe there would be cooling.

 

Some Deniers claimed as late as 10 years ago that there was no warming.

 

The good old days.

It's getting hotter.

Science certainly doesn't know whether it is caused by humans.

 

Of course, that is somewhat inconvenient for the socialists and elitists who want to use that theory to tax the population to death, regulate their behaviour and increase the power of the state, all while pretending to be more virtuous.

They know that is happening and at an alarming rate .   On the other hand you   not so much.

They certainly do ,as for the rest of your gibberish gibber on.

I am constantly amused by those on here that claim to know more than anyone else.

If they knew half as much as they claim to they might be half as clever as they think they are.

They can't use that as a reason, as no one is going to give them loadsacash for something everyone knows.

I'll bet the oceans have warmed up before.

Basically when scientist say '...they don't understand...it usually means something has happened that doesn't fit their model(s). Happens often in Astronomy when they say '...should not exist...' If that something does exist then obviously their models must are missing some detail or are wrong. With climate change it's even worse because there isn't just one model there are several. But this is not surprising since the equations we have for turbulence etc. (Navia Stokes, Noether ) are difficult to solve.

They'll never be as clever as clever Trevor.

Also, it takes much longer to get up north...... the slow way.

What's the problem? Still got 80 degrees more to go before it all boils away!

I'm not sure what's worse, you ability to quote properly or your ability to form a coherent sentence.

 

I guess the climate doomsday alarmism is aimed at people like you. 😆

Not a much as before human global civilizations.

Thatcher had a good one as well.

Why does that leave the scientists puzzled?

Easy explanation ,,, It's a Natural Phenomenon That's been happening  Millions of years .

So once again and for the umpteenth time, scientists realize that they know nothing. 

She’s as dense as Greta Thunberg!

A real winner, this one.

Where did Obama buy a house? Near the ocean of course.

Weirdly, global warming was predicted as a trend. Oceans will rise, flooding Pacific islands and Bangkok. I guess no one will agree others were right until we are all dead.

Which is good. Lots of countries have freezing cold weather and freezing cold water.

Yep, same as Gates et. al.

 

Same reason they fly around in private jets. They know it's a massive scam to control to masses. Scare them into complying with their world view and hand over their cash. Scare them into a subsistence lifestyle while they lord it up. More room on the beach for them. 

 

Now they just need to convince the turkeys to vote for Christmas. 

I am glad that global warming happened and melted the ice bergs or what ever you call that thick sheet of ice that came all the way down from the north pole and possibly covered the area where my house was eventually built, just north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!

Otherwise, my wife would have me outside every fricking day, running the snow blower to get the 2 feet (or more) of snow off the sidewalks and driveway, and my fruit trees would be perpetually frozen!
