Ocean Heat Has Shattered Records for More Than a Year. What’s Happening?
There have been record temperatures every day for more than a year. Scientists are investigating what’s behind the extraordinary measurements.
“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”
Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.

I thought its more than 1C since 1981
Remember this is water, which has a much greater thermal capacity than air.
Yeah, I didnt mean its not much, but was sure the increase was higher (source: thoughts while taking shower hehe). Thx for clarifying!
