Important quote from the article before this desencds into the same climate change vs anti-climate change arguments and doom posting
> Human-caused climate change is likely playing a role, researchers said, but is probably not the only factor. Climate models predict a steady rise in sea surface temperatures, but not this quickly, and ocean surface temperatures also fluctuate and can be affected by natural climate variability, including patterns such as El Niño and La Niña.
- hammock 3y agoClimate change is real, and more severe weather and fluctuations is actually something that the models predict. While there is natural variability in the Earth's climate system, the current rate and magnitude of climate change far exceed what can be explained solely by natural factors
- toomuchtodo 3y agoModels missed a variable somewhere that will eventually become apparent, likely in ocean thermodynamics (heatsink has reached capacity earlier than expected, or had less capacity than expected, which was previously buffering until now).

- silverquiet 3y agoI remember awhile back after global warming became undeniable, at some point the denialist rhetoric seemed to move to something like, "what if it's not as bad as scientists think it will be?". To which I always thought, "what if it's worse?". I'm long past doom posting and onto being thankful that I never wanted children.
