Ocean Heat Has Shattered Records for More Than a Year. What’s Happening?

www.nytimes.com 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.

My wife told me I was a doomer gloomer for not wanting to have kids due to climate uncertainty. I wanted to adopt instead.

I'm terrified of how the world will look over the next century for my 6 month old son.
Narrator: The world became uninhabitable. But for a short time, it created tremendous value for our shareholders.
Well i'm not a scientist (actually I am, but not a climate scientist), but im gunna take a wild flailing stab in the dark and suggest it's maybe due to unfettered fossil fuel emissions.

Call me crazy but i think this might be what's happening here.
I was watching a video about past extinctions and they had a line where the oceans warmed two degrees over two million years, which was just about enough time for the ecosystems to evolve and adapt.

Look at what we've done in two hundred.
we're all the frogs in god's slowly boiling kettle.

Fortunately Exxon et al made STELLAR profits for damn near a century, it only cost us the one viable ecosystem we have in the entire known universe.

Tsk. Well profits have to be made, it's capitalism. Can't argue with that.
Good thing that I don't have children to experience the fucking Apokalypse
Woohoo! The beginning of the end!!
climate change. climate change is happening.
what’s happening?

Gettin hotter, innit?
Have fun while you can guys. Shits gonna get rough sooner than we all think
The beginning of the end, obviously. Dinosaurs 2.0 shall inherit the Earth since they're fine with a shitton of CO2 in the atmosphere and warmer everything.
We will be a footnote in Earth's history, a dead branch on the tree of evolution
Hurricane season gone be fun!
Quick, push the glaciers into the sea to cool it down again!
We're all about to die, that's what
We fucked it.. Plain and simple..
I have a lot of conservative family members in my extended family. You can tell them this all day long, present all the data in the world, and they wouldn't care one single crap.

"Hoax, lies, fake news, liberal agenda, etc, etc."
what’s happening?
Ocean Heat sounds like a nu wave synth band from the early 90s.
The article says the tonga eruption is the biggest since Krakatoa. That's nuts.
What’s… happening? What’s happening?? Bro…
Get a vasectomy.
It's 3D printing.... All those people getting cancer giving resins at home for 3D figurines and other useless items. That must be a large blip in some toxic item polluting the environment right now.
