Poorly analyzed it seems. The person is comparing real-time, yearly jitter to a line of the 1982-2011 mean. And for some non-obvious reason is also drawing the area between two curves of the 2022 jitter and the 2023 jitter (separated in time by literally 365 days), and then saying that this differential between the two curves compared to the 1982-2011 mean is an energy jump over 3 weeks. If this says anything, it's only saying that the 2022 jitter and the 2023 jitter do not precisely go up and down at the exact same dates a year apart! Nothing more. The graphic I'm looking at from your link: https://theethicalskeptic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/July-2023-SST-Warming-Global.png https://theethicalskeptic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Jul... Edit to add: sorry, 4 weeks, not 3 weeks.

The recent rise in ocean temperatures appears to be outside normal variance and has been widely discussed. It can’t be caused by short term atmospheric temperature changes or gradual CO2 rise. Oceanic vulcanism is a reasonable hypothesis that needs further investigation. Stay tuned.

  Maybe it's a reasonable hypothesis. Another reasonable hypothesis would be a slowdown in ocean convection. Another would be cloud cover changes. These are all surface ocean measurements, yes? Do we even have seafloor temperature monitoring stations? I know there are mobile bouys that circulate underwater, but these aren't the temperatures in these graphs, yes? What do temperature changes look like around known submarine volcanoes?
