surprised the ocean is that hot
- srean 4y agoThats not a good sign. Usually hot summers with hot landmass and a cooler ocean creates a air pressure differential that drives the monsoons
- Shadonototra 4y agowe are exiting the ice age (Pleistocene Ice Age), so it's not THAT surprising, what's surprising is the pace, it's going faster than expected
- ejolto 4y agoI wonder if it's got anything to do with the 34 billion tons of CO2 we released into the atmosphere.
- akomtu 4y agoCO2 is just a small part of it. Methane plays a big role and a bunch of other emissions nobody accounts for. Microplastics in the oceans reflecting the sunlight must have a big impact too.
- jpeter 4y agoFaster than expected with or without human driven global warming?
- Shadonototra 4y agowhat ever is influencing it, human activity, solar activity, seismic activity, siberia, many causes
- polotics 4y agoThere's an UN IPCC report for what you got! Whateverism doesn't cut it in 2022 I'm afraid.
- Shadonototra 4y agodownvoted? ok.. to the uneducated people: > Like all the others, the most recent ice age brought a series of glacial advances and retreats. In fact, we are technically still in an ice age. We’re just living out our lives during an interglacial. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/whats-coldest-earths-ever-been https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/whats-colde...
